Of the Company's total debt, approximately 15% is variable rate debt tied to London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The debt agreements that may be impacted by the discontinuation of LIBOR include provisions that the Company believes are sufficient to transition from the existing LIBOR rates to the prevailing successor market rates as necessary.

Senior Notes

In connection with the Magellan Acquisition in January 2022, the Company redeemed Magellan’s existing outstanding 4.4% Senior Notes due 2024 and paid off the existing Credit Agreement using Magellan’s cash on hand. The Company recognized an immaterial net pre-tax gain on extinguishment including related fees and expenses and the write-off of the unamortized premium.

Foreign Currency Swap

In order to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with an intercompany note receivable related to the Circle Health acquisition, the Company entered into a foreign currency swap agreement for a notional amount of $705 million, to purchase £509 million. The swap agreement was formally designated and qualified as a fair value hedge. All gains and losses due to changes in the fair value of the foreign currency swap completely offset changes in the remeasurement of the intercompany note receivable within investment and other income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, resulting in no net impact to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
On March 31, 2022, the foreign currency swap settled in connection with its expiration, and the Company received cash proceeds of $35 million. The Company does not hold or issue any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Circle Health Debt Refinancing

In May 2022, the Company refinanced certain debt agreements for its Circle Health subsidiary with a new £250 million credit facility maturing in May 2025. The Company recognized a $13 million pre-tax gain on the extinguishment of the existing debt. As of June 30, 2022, £180 million was drawn on the facility, which is included within Finance leases and other in the table above. The new facility is guaranteed by the Company and has similar borrowing rates and covenants to the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement.

Construction Loan

In October 2017, the Company executed a $200 million non-recourse construction loan to fund the expansion of the Company's corporate headquarters. Until final completion of the construction project, which occurred in July 2021, the loan bore interest based on one month LIBOR plus 2.70%, which reduced to LIBOR plus 2.00% at the time construction was completed. The agreement contains financial and non-financial covenants similar to those contained in the Company Credit Facility. The Company guaranteed completion of the construction project associated with the loan. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $181 million in borrowings outstanding under the loan, which is included in the current portion of long-term debt.

In April 2022, the Company extended the term of the loan for an additional one year. The extension reduced interest on the loan to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.85% and matures in April 2023.

Debt Repurchase Program

In June 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new $1,000 million debt repurchase program in preparation for future debt reductions as part of the Company’s strategic value creation initiatives. There was $1,000 million available under the program as of June 30, 2022.
