What is the purpose of this new credit facility?

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.

What are the key maturities for these new loans?

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.

How is the interest rate determined for these facilities?

For the Term Loan A facilities, interest rates are based on either the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Base Rate, plus an applicable margin. For the Revolving Credit Facility, the initial rates are similar, but future rates and commitment fees will fluctuate based on the Company's Total Net Leverage Ratios and public corporate credit ratings, providing a variable cost of capital tied to financial performance and market standing.

What assets are being used as collateral for these loans?

The credit agreement is secured by a security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the borrower (McKesson Medical-Surgical Top Holdings, Inc.) and certain material U.S. subsidiaries of McKesson Corporation, subject to certain exceptions.
