Total short-term borrowings$199 $2,638 

As of September 30, 2020, commercial paper issued and outstanding had between 1 and 62 days remaining to maturity. Commercial paper borrowings since year end decreased due to proceeds from issuances of long-term debt, sales of shares of KDP and JDEP stock holdings and operating cash flows offset in part by payments of long-term debt, share repurchases and dividend payments.

Some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2020 and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2019. Borrowings on these lines were $60 million at September 30, 2020 and $57 million at December 31, 2019.
Borrowing Arrangements:
On September 24, 2020, Mondelēz International Holdings B.V. (“MIHN”) repaid a $750 million term loan. The term loan and accrued interest to date were paid with the euro-denominated notes issued by MIHN on September 23, 2020 that are described below.

On March 24, 2020, we entered into a $1.75 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility that expires on March 23, 2021. On April 1, 2020, we increased the credit facility from $1.75 billion to $1.95 billion. The agreement includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below with the exception that proceeds from a long-term debt issuance would be used to reduce the credit facility. On September 8, 2020, we terminated this facility after issuing long-term debt.

On March 6, 2020, we entered into a $2.5 billion credit agreement for a 364-day unsecured credit facility that expires on March 5, 2021. The agreement includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below with the exception that proceeds from a long-term debt issuance would be used to reduce the credit facility. On May 6, 2020, we terminated this facility after issuing long-term debt and repaying previous drawdowns.

On February 26, 2020, we entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility that expires on February 24, 2021. The agreement replaces our previous credit agreement that was scheduled to expire on February 26, 2020 and includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. As of September 30, 2020, no amounts were drawn on the facility.

We also maintain 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. The credit facility 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 September 30, 2020, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was $38.2 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 September 30, 2020, no amounts were drawn on the facility.

Cash costs related to our tender for the debt will be included in other financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows and we will record $3.9 million of charges within interest and other expense, net from hedging instruments related to the retired debt. Upon the extinguishment of debt, the deferred cash flow hedge amounts were recorded in earnings.
