(1)The revolver commitments were $1.325 billion as of June 30, 2023. Ares Holdings is the borrower under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility has a variable interest rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or a base rate plus an applicable margin, which is subject to adjustment based on the achievement of certain environmental, social and governance-related targets, with an unused commitment fee paid quarterly, which is subject to change with the Company’s underlying credit agency rating. As of June 30, 2023, base rate loans bear interest calculated based on the base rate and the SOFR loans bear interest calculated based on SOFR plus 1.00%. The unused commitment fee is 0.10% per annum. There is a base rate and SOFR floor of zero. (2)The 2024 Senior Notes were issued in October 2014 by Ares Finance Co.

Beginning June 30, 2026, the interest rate will reset on every fifth year based on the five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 3.237%. The Company may redeem the 2051 Subordinated Notes prior to maturity or defer interest payments up to five consecutive years, subject to the terms of the indenture governing the 2051 Subordinated Notes. As of June 30, 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants under the debt obligations. The Company typically incurs and pays debt issuance costs when entering into a new debt obligation or when amending an existing debt agreement. Debt issuance costs related to the 2024, 2030 and 2052 Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) and 2051 Subordinated Notes are recorded as a reduction of the corresponding debt obligation, and debt issuance costs related to the Credit Facility are included within other assets within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. All debt issuance costs are amortized over the remaining term of the related obligation into interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents the activity of the Company’s debt issuance costs:
| Credit Facility |  | Senior Notes |  | Subordinated Notes |  |  |  |
Unamortized debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2022 | $ | 5,510 |  |  | $ | 8,393 |  |  | $ | 5,243 |  |  |  |  |

Loan Obligations of the Consolidated CLOs Loan obligations of the Consolidated Funds that are CLOs (“Consolidated CLOs”) represent amounts due to holders of debt securities issued by the Consolidated CLOs. The Company measures the loan obligations of the Consolidated CLOs using the fair value of the financial assets of its Consolidated CLOs. The following loan obligations were outstanding and classified as liabilities of the Consolidated CLOs:
|  |  | As of June 30, 2023 |  |  | As of December 31, 2022
|  |  | Fair Value of Loan Obligations |  | Weighted Average Interest Rate |  | Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (in years) |  |  | Fair Value of Loan Obligations |  | Weighted Average Interest Rate |  | Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (in years)
Senior secured notes |  |  | $ | 10,813,054 |  |  | 6.08% |  | 8.4 |  |  | $ | 10,142,545 |  |  | 4.84% |  | 8.8

Total loan obligations of Consolidated CLOs |  |  | $ | 11,460,999 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 10,701,720 |  |  |  |  |
(1)The notes do not have contractual interest rates; instead, holders of the notes receive distributions from the excess cash flows generated by each Consolidated CLO. Loan obligations of the Consolidated CLOs are collateralized by the assets held by the Consolidated CLOs, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, corporate loans, corporate bonds and other securities. The assets of one Consolidated CLO may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another Consolidated CLO. Loan obligations of the Consolidated CLOs include floating rate notes, deferrable floating rate notes, revolving lines of credit and subordinated notes. Amounts borrowed under the notes are repaid based on available cash flows subject to priority of payments under each Consolidated CLO’s governing documents. Based on the terms of these facilities, the creditors of the facilities have no recourse to the Company. Credit Facilities of the Consolidated Funds Certain Consolidated Funds maintain credit facilities to fund investments between capital drawdowns. These facilities generally are collateralized by the unfunded capital commitments of the Consolidated Funds’ limited partners, bear an annual commitment fee based on unfunded commitments and contain various affirmative and negative covenants and reporting obligations, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, margin stock, affiliate transactions, dividends and distributions, release of capital commitments and portfolio asset dispositions. The creditors of these facilities have no recourse to the Company and only have recourse to a subsidiary of the Company to the extent the debt is guaranteed by such subsidiary. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Consolidated Funds were in compliance with all covenants under such credit facilities. The Consolidated Funds had the following revolving bank credit facilities outstanding:
|  |  |  |  |  | As of June 30, 2023 |  |  | As of December 31, 2022 |
