Frequently Asked Questions

While the filing doesn't explicitly state the precise use, such credit facilities are typically used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, strategic investments, acquisitions, and refinancing existing debt. The substantial amount suggests it's intended to support McKesson's ongoing operational and strategic initiatives.

The new credit facilities include a $750.0 million Term Loan A-1 facility due in 2031, a $250.0 million Term Loan A-2 facility due in 2028, and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility that also matures in April 2031. This provides a staggered maturity profile for the company's debt.
