part ii were issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 500 million at a 2.25% ( 2.25 % ) fixed , annual interest rate and will mature on may 1 , 2023 .the 2043 senior notes were issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 500 million at a 3.625% ( 3.625 % ) fixed , annual interest rate and will mature on may 1 , 2043 .interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually on may 1 and november 1 of each year .the issuance resulted in gross proceeds before expenses of $ 998 million .on november 1 , 2011 , we entered into a committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of banks which provides for up to $ 1 billion of borrowings with the option to increase borrowings to $ 1.5 billion with lender approval .the facility matures november 1 , 2017 .as of and for the periods ended may 31 , 2015 and 2014 , we had no amounts outstanding under our committed credit facility .we currently have long-term debt ratings of aa- and a1 from standard and poor 2019s corporation and moody 2019s investor services , respectively .if our long- term debt ratings were to decline , the facility fee and interest rate under our committed credit facility would increase .conversely , if our long-term debt rating were to improve , the facility fee and interest rate would decrease .changes in our long-term debt rating would not trigger acceleration of maturity of any then-outstanding borrowings or any future borrowings under the committed credit facility .under this committed revolving credit facility , we have agreed to various covenants .these covenants include limits on our disposal of fixed assets , the amount of debt secured by liens we may incur , as well as a minimum capitalization ratio .in the event we were to have any borrowings outstanding under this facility and failed to meet any covenant , and were unable to obtain a waiver from a majority of the banks in the syndicate , any borrowings would become immediately due and payable .as of may 31 , 2015 , we were in full compliance with each of these covenants and believe it is unlikely we will fail to meet any of these covenants in the foreseeable future .liquidity is also provided by our $ 1 billion commercial paper program .during the year ended may 31 , 2015 , we did not issue commercial paper , and as of may 31 , 2015 , there were no outstanding borrowings under this program .we may issue commercial paper or other debt securities during fiscal 2016 depending on general corporate needs .we currently have short-term debt ratings of a1+ and p1 from standard and poor 2019s corporation and moody 2019s investor services , respectively .as of may 31 , 2015 , we had cash , cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $ 5.9 billion , of which $ 4.2 billion was held by our foreign subsidiaries .included in cash and equivalents as of may 31 , 2015 was $ 968 million of cash collateral received from counterparties as a result of hedging activity .cash equivalents and short-term investments consist primarily of deposits held at major banks , money market funds , commercial paper , corporate notes , u.s .treasury obligations , u.s .government sponsored enterprise obligations and other investment grade fixed income securities .our fixed income investments are exposed to both credit and interest rate risk .all of our investments are investment grade to minimize our credit risk .while individual securities have varying durations , as of may 31 , 2015 the weighted average remaining duration of our short-term investments and cash equivalents portfolio was 79 days .to date we have not experienced difficulty accessing the credit markets or incurred higher interest costs .future volatility in the capital markets , however , may increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets .we believe that existing cash , cash equivalents , short-term investments and cash generated by operations , together with access to external sources of funds as described above , will be sufficient to meet our domestic and foreign capital needs in the foreseeable future .we utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to manage our worldwide cash and deploy funds to locations where they are needed .we routinely repatriate a portion of our foreign earnings for which u.s .taxes have previously been provided .we also indefinitely reinvest a significant portion of our foreign earnings , and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these earnings .should we require additional capital in the united states , we may elect to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds or raise capital in the united states through debt .if we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds , we would be required to accrue and pay additional u.s .taxes less applicable foreign tax credits .if we elect to raise capital in the united states through debt , we would incur additional interest expense .off-balance sheet arrangements in connection with various contracts and agreements , we routinely provide indemnification relating to the enforceability of intellectual property rights , coverage for legal issues that arise and other items where we are acting as the guarantor .currently , we have several such agreements in place .however , based on our historical experience and the estimated probability of future loss , we have determined that the fair value of such indemnification is not material to our financial position or results of operations .contractual obligations our significant long-term contractual obligations as of may 31 , 2015 and significant endorsement contracts , including related marketing commitments , entered into through the date of this report are as follows: .

( 1 ) the cash payments due for long-term debt include estimated interest payments .estimates of interest payments are based on outstanding principal amounts , applicable fixed interest rates or currently effective interest rates as of may 31 , 2015 ( if variable ) , timing of scheduled payments and the term of the debt obligations .( 2 ) the amounts listed for endorsement contracts represent approximate amounts of base compensation and minimum guaranteed royalty fees we are obligated to pay athlete , sport team and league endorsers of our products .actual payments under some contracts may be higher than the amounts listed as these contracts provide for bonuses to be paid to the endorsers based upon athletic achievements and/or royalties on product sales in future periods .actual payments under some contracts may also be lower as these contracts include provisions for reduced payments if athletic performance declines in future periods .in addition to the cash payments , we are obligated to furnish our endorsers with nike product for their use .it is not possible to determine how much we will spend on this product on an annual basis as the contracts generally do not stipulate a specific amount of cash to be spent on the product .the amount of product provided to the endorsers will depend on many factors , including general playing conditions , the number of sporting events in which they participate and our own decisions regarding product and marketing initiatives .in addition , the costs to design , develop , source and purchase the products furnished to the endorsers are incurred over a period of time and are not necessarily tracked separately from similar costs incurred for products sold to customers. .
