Neutral financing Written later 1.011.022.03

On April 18, 2025, Best Buy entered into a new $1.25 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility with U.S. Bank as administrative agent, and terminated its previous $1.25 billion facility, which was scheduled to expire in April 2028.

  • Replaces the previous $1.25 billion facility dated April 12, 2023, which was terminated April 18, 2025 and was scheduled to expire in April 2028.
