Debt and Borrowing Arrangements | Note 9. Debt and Borrowing Arrangements Short-Term Borrowings: Our short-term borrowings and related weighted-average interest rates consisted of:
| As of December 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018
| Amount Outstanding |  | Weighted- Average Rate |  | Amount Outstanding |  | Weighted- Average Rate
| (in millions) |  |  |  | (in millions) |  |
Commercial paper | $ | 2,581 |  |  | 2.0 | % |  | $ | 3,054 |  |  | 2.9 | %
Bank loans | 57 |  |  | 5.2 | % |  | 138 |  |  | 10.5 | %
Total short-term borrowings | $ | 2,638 |  |  |  |  | $ | 3,192 |  |  |
As of December 31, 2019, commercial paper issued and outstanding had between 2 and 52 days remaining to maturity. Commercial paper borrowings decreased since the 2018 year-end primarily as a result of repayments from operating cash flow and proceeds from long-term debt issuances net of repayments, partially offset by increased borrowings for shareholder dividends and share repurchases. Some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2019 and at December 31, 2018. Borrowings on these lines were $57 million at December 31, 2019 and $138 million at December 31, 2018. Borrowing Arrangements: On September 13, 2019, Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands B.V. ("MIHN"), a wholly owned Dutch subsidiary of Mondelēz International, Inc., entered into a term loan agreement pursuant to which MIHN may incur up to $500 million of term loans with a three-year term and $500 million of term loans with a five-year term. Proceeds from the term loan may be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of debt. On October 25, 2019, we fully drew on the term loans and received proceeds of $1.0 billion. We also entered into cross-currency swaps, serving as cash flow hedges, so that the U.S. dollar-denominated debt payments will effectively be paid in euros over the life of the debt. On February 27, 2019, to supplement our commercial paper program, we entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility that is scheduled to expire on February 26, 2020. The agreement replaces our previous credit agreement that matured on February 27, 2019 and includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. As of December 31, 2019, no amounts were drawn on the facility. On February 27, 2019, we entered into a $4.5 billion multi-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, and to support our commercial paper program. This agreement replaced our $4.5 billion amended and restated five-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of October 14, 2016. The revolving credit agreement is scheduled to expire on February 27, 2024. The revolving credit agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders' equity of at least $24.6 billion, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses), the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles and earnings/(losses) recognized in connection with the ongoing application of any mark-to-market accounting for pensions and other retirement plans. At December 31, 2019, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was $37.5 billion. The revolving credit facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security. As of December 31, 2019, no amounts were drawn on the facility. On April 2, 2018, in connection with the tender offer described below, we entered into a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility that was due to expire on April 1, 2019. The agreement included the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed above. On April 17, 2018, we borrowed $714 million on this facility to fund the debt tender described below and availability under the facility was reduced to match the borrowed amount. On May 7, 2018, we repaid the $714 million from the net proceeds received from the May 2018 $2.5 billion long-term debt issuance and terminated this credit facility. Long-Term Debt: Our long-term debt consisted of (interest rates are as of December 31, 2019):

Deferred debt issuance costs of $33 million as of December 31, 2019 and $32 million as of December 31, 2018 are netted against the related debt in the table above. Deferred financing costs related to our revolving credit facility are classified in long-term other assets and were immaterial for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2019, aggregate maturities of our debt and finance leases based on stated contractual maturities, excluding unamortized non-cash bond premiums, discounts, bank fees and mark-to-market adjustments of $(76) million and imputed interest on finance leases of $(11) million, were (in millions):

We received $997 million of proceeds, net of discounts and associated financing costs. The proceeds were earmarked for general corporate purposes, including repayment of debt. We recorded approximately $4 million of deferred financing costs and discounts, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes. In connection with this debt issuance, we entered into cross-currency swaps, serving as cash flow hedges, so that the U.S. dollar-denominated debt payments will effectively be paid in euros over the life of the debt.

We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $140 million within interest and other expense, net related to the amount we paid to retire the debt in excess of its carrying value and from recognizing unamortized discounts, deferred financing and other cash costs in earnings at the time of the debt extinguishment. Cash costs related to tendering the debt are included in long-term debt repayments in the consolidated statement of cash flows for 2018.
