VARIABLE-RATE BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
Bridge Credit Agreement
In connection and concurrently with the entry into the JDE Peet's Acquisition Agreement, we entered into the Bridge Credit Agreement on August 24, 2025, among KDP, as borrower, with the lenders party thereto, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent. We incurred approximately $93 million in deferred financing fees related to the issuance, which were capitalized and are being amortized to Interest expense, net over the term of the Bridge Credit Agreement. We will owe additional fees of approximately €36 million on December 22, 2025, to the extent that the Bridge Credit Agreement has not been terminated or the amounts available under the facility remain undrawn.
The Bridge Credit Agreement provides for a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed €16.2 billion. The proceeds of the Bridge Credit Agreement may be used to fund the JDE Peet's Acquisition. Obligations under the Bridge Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our subsidiaries that guarantee our revolving credit facility and outstanding senior notes.
Borrowings under the Bridge Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to EURIBOR plus a margin of 0.750% to 2.500% depending on the rating of certain of our index debt and the period for which the bridge loans remain outstanding after the initial funding date. The undrawn commitments under the bridge loan facility will be subject to a commitment fee commencing on the 121st day after the date the Bridge Credit Agreement became effective at a per annum rate of 0.060% to 0.200% depending on the rating of certain of our index debt. The Bridge Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties for investment grade financings. The Bridge Credit Agreement also contains (i) certain affirmative covenants, including those that impose reporting and/or operating obligations on us and our subsidiaries, (ii) certain negative covenants that generally limit, subject to exceptions, us and our subsidiaries from taking certain actions, including incurring liens and consummating certain fundamental changes, (iii) financial covenants in the form of a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.00 that will apply after the initial funding date and a maximum total net leverage ratio of 6.25 to 1.00 that will apply after the initial funding date only upon a downgrade in the ratings of certain of our index debt, and (iv) events of default customary for financings of this type.
As of September 30, 2025, the full amount of this facility remains available and undrawn.
Term Loan Agreement
On January 31, 2025, we repaid the amount outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement using proceeds from commercial paper. On May 7, 2025, we terminated our Term Loan Agreement. We had no outstanding loan balances as of the termination date.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On March 31, 2025, we entered into the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement among KDP, as borrower, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. We incurred approximately $4 million in deferred financing fees related to the issuance. On September 30, 2025, the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement was amended to increase the capacity to $4.3 billion.
The following table summarizes information about the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement:

(1)The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement has a $200 million letter of credit limit, with none utilized as of September 30, 2025.
The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement replaced our previous revolving credit agreement.
Borrowings under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, the term SOFR rate plus a margin of 0.750% to 1.250% or the alternative base rate plus a margin ofzero to 0.250%, in each case, depending on the rating of certain of our index debt. The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties for investment grade financings. The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement also contains (i) certain customary affirmative covenants, including those that impose certain reporting and/or performance obligations on us and our subsidiaries, (ii) certain customary negative covenants that generally limit, subject to various exceptions, us and our subsidiaries from taking certain actions, including, without limitation, incurring liens and consummating certain fundamental changes, (iii) a financial covenant in the form of a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.00, and (iv) customary events of default (including a change of control) for financings of this type.
As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with our minimum interest coverage ratio with respect to the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement.

Letter of Credit Facility

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The fair value of our commercial paper approximates the carrying value and is considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The fair values of our Notes are based on current market rates available to us and are considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount that would be paid or received to retire all the Notes and related unamortized costs to be incurred at such date. The fair value of our Notes was $13,597 million and $12,036 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
