At February 1, 2020, TJX had outstanding $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.25% ten-year notes due September 2026 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% ten-year notes due May 2023. TJX entered into a rate-lock agreement to hedge $700 million of the 2.25% notes and $250 million of the 2.50% notes. The cost of these agreements are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes resulting in an effective fixed rate of 2.36% for the 2.25% notes and 2.57% for the 2.50% notes. At February 1, 2020, TJX also had outstanding $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% seven-year notes due June 2021. TJX also entered into rate-lock agreements to hedge the underlying treasury rate of all of the 2.75% notes prior to their issuance. The agreements were accounted for as cash flow hedges and the pre-tax realized loss of $7.9 million was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes, resulting in an effective fixed interest rate of 2.91%. TJX has two $500 million revolving credit facilities, one which matures in March 2022 and one which matures in May 2024, both were outstanding as of February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019. During fiscal 2020, the Company amended the two agreements to reflect the impact of implementing the new lease accounting standard under ASC 842 related to the definition of rental costs used within the debt covenant calculation. For additional information about the implementation of ASC 842, see Leases within Note A—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the maturity date for one of the revolving credit facilities was extended from March 2020 to May 2024. The terms and covenants under the revolving credit facilities require quarterly payments of 6.0 basis points per annum on the committed amounts for both agreements. This rate is based on the credit ratings of TJX’s long-term debt and will vary with specified changes in the credit ratings. These agreements have no compensating balance requirements and have various covenants. Each of these facilities require TJX to maintain a ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rentals (EBITDAR) of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 on a rolling four-quarter basis. TJX was in compliance with all covenants related to its credit facilities at the end of all periods presented. As of February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, and during the years then ended, there were no amounts outstanding under these facilities. On March 20, 2020, the Company drew down $1 billion under these facilities. For additional information, see Note Q—Subsequent Event. As of February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, TJX Canada had two uncommitted credit lines, a C$10 million facility for operating expenses and a C$10 million letter of credit facility. As of February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, and during the years then ended, there were no amounts outstanding on the Canadian credit line for operating expenses. As of February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, our European business at TJX International had an uncommitted credit line of £5 million.
