Long-term debt - At December 31, 2018, the Company had a credit agreement which provided for a five-year $350.0 senior secured revolving credit facility (Revolving Facility) which would mature in June 2020 and a seven-year $400.0 senior secured term loan B facility (Term Loan) which was due in June 2022. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin based on total Company leverage. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $260.0 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and had $6.7 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $83.3 remained available as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, our weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 4.7% and 4.3%, respectively.

The $400.0 Term Loan was issued at a $1.0 discount which is amortized with a corresponding charge to interest expense over the remaining life of the loan. In March 2017, the Company repriced its Term Loan resulting in interest of LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The borrowings under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25%, or $1.0, of the original principal balance.

Obligations under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of its existing and future direct and indirectly wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries. There is a first priority perfected lien on substantially all of the assets and property of the Company and guarantors and proceeds therefrom excluding certain excluded assets. No other terms were changed as a result of the Term Loan repricing.

On January 2, 2019, with the funding of the debt financing for the Battery Acquisition discussed below, the Company repaid the borrowing outstanding under the Term Loan due in 2022 and the borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

The Company's $600.0 of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (2025 Notes) were sold to qualified institutional buyers and will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws. Interest is payable semi-annually on the 2025 Notes in December and June. The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by each of the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan.

Long-term debt held in escrow - On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement which provided for a 5-year $400.0 revolving credit facility (2018 Revolving Facility) and which provided for a $200.0 3-year term loan A facility and $1,000.0 7-year term loan B facility (2018 Term Loans). The borrowings under the term loan A require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 6.25% of the original principal balance, or $12.5. The borrowings under the term loan B require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $2.5. The borrowings will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin based on total Company leverage. The new credit agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants. Debt issuances fees paid associated with the credit agreement were $16.5. The new 2018 Term Loans began to accrue ticking fees in July 2018 and interest in December 2018 upon funding the Term Loans into escrow.

The release of the 2018 Term Loan proceeds and the ability of the Company to borrow against the 2018 Revolving Facility were subject to the completion of the Battery Acquisition. The 2018 Term Loan proceeds were held in escrow at December 31, 2018 with the proceeds recorded on the balance sheet as Restricted cash.

Obligations under the 2018 Revolving Facility and 2018 Term Loan are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of its existing and future direct and indirectly wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries. There is a first priority perfected lien on substantially all of the assets and property of the Company and guarantors and proceeds therefrom excluding certain excluded assets.

In June 2018, the Company finalized the pricing of two senior note offerings due in 2026 of $500.0 at 6.375% (USD Notes) and €650.0 at 4.625% (Euro Notes and collectively with the USD Notes, the 2026 Notes), which were issued by wholly-owned subsidiaries. The 2026 Notes priced at 100% of the principal amount and the offering closed in July 2018. The funds were held in escrow at December 31, 2018 and are recorded on the balance sheet as Restricted cash. Interest on the 2026 Notes began to accrue in July 2018.

The 2026 Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers and will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws. Interest is payable semi-annually on the 2026 Notes in January and July. The 2026 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness of the Company under its 2018 Revolving Facility.

On January 2, 2019, the proceeds of the 2018 Term Loans and the 2026 Notes were released from escrow and utilized to fund the Battery Acquisition, repay borrowings under the Term Loan due in 2022 and outstanding under the Revolving Facility, and pay acquisition related costs including debt issuance costs.

Interest Rate Swaps - In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%.

In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with an effective date of October 1, 2018, with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt at an interest rate of 2.47%. The swap has a current notional value of $400.0. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreases $50.0 each quarter until its termination date of December 31, 2020.

Notes payable - The notes payable balance was $275.1 at December 31, 2018 and $247.3 at September 30, 2018. The December 31, 2018 balance was comprised of $260.0 outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility as well as $15.1 of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates. The September 30, 2018 balance was comprised of $240.0 outstanding borrowings on the Revolving facility as well as $7.3 of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates. On January 2, 2019, the $260.0 of outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility were paid with the proceeds from the 2018 Term Loans and 2026 Notes.

Debt Covenants - The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these facilities would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of December 31, 2018, the Company was, and expects to remain, in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements.

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt, including current maturities, at December 31, 2018 were as follows: $64.0 in one year, $64.0 in two years, $114.0 in three years, $385.0 in four years, $10.0 in five years and $2,795.2 thereafter.

The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.
