Frequently Asked Questions

The new $3 billion revolving credit facility and the $3 billion commercial paper program are primarily intended to provide ServiceNow with financial flexibility for working capital and general corporate purposes. This means the funds can be used for day-to-day operations, investments, or other strategic initiatives as the company deems necessary.

As of the filing date, ServiceNow has not borrowed any funds under either the revolving credit facility or the commercial paper program. This suggests the company currently has sufficient liquidity and is establishing these facilities as a proactive measure for future needs and opportunities.

ServiceNow can access up to $3 billion through the revolving credit facility, with the potential to increase this by an additional $2 billion through an Incremental Facility, bringing the total potential credit facility amount to $5 billion. Additionally, the commercial paper program allows for up to $3 billion in short-term borrowings. The total available funding capacity is therefore substantial, providing significant financial flexibility.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will accrue interest at rates based on either the alternate base rate or SOFR (for U.S. dollar borrowings) plus an applicable margin tied to ServiceNow's credit ratings. For foreign currency borrowings, rates will be based on the relevant interest benchmark plus a credit rating-based margin. Commercial paper will be issued at prevailing market rates at a discount from par.
