Interest rates on the Company’s debt are subject to variances in international and local rates. The Company’s weighted average cost of borrowed funds at December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019 was approximately 4.31% and 4.16%, respectively.

(ii) Lines of credit
At December 31, 2018, 2019, debt under lines of credit aggregated to Ps. $29,651 million and Ps. $53,645 million, respectively.
 
The Company has two revolving syndicated credit facilities, one for the Euro equivalent of U.S. $2,000 million and the other for U.S. $2,500 million maturing in 2021 and 2024, respectively. As long as the facilities are committed, a commitment fee is paid. As of December 31, 2019, these credit facilities were undrawn. Telekom Austria has also an undrawn revolving syndicated credit facility in Euros for €1,000 million that matures in 2024.
(iii) Hybrid Notes
We currently have two Capital Securities (hybrid notes) maturing in 2073: a series denominated in euros for a total amount of €550 million with a coupon of 6.375% and a series denominated in pound sterling for £550 million with a coupon of 6.375%. The Capital Securities are deeply subordinated, and when they were issued the principal rating agencies stated that they would treat only half of the principal amount as indebtedness for purposes of evaluating our leverage (an analysis referred to as 50.0% equity credit). The Capital Securities are subject to redemption at our option at varying dates beginning in 2023 for the euro-denominated series and beginning in 2020 for the sterling-denominated series.
On September 2018, we exercised the option to call our hybrid bond with a maturity date in 2073 for a total amount of €900 million euros.
KPN
On September 2018, América Móvil delivered 224,695,844 KPN shares, equivalent to 5% of the total outstanding shares, after the maturity of a mandatory conversion bond with a nominal outstanding amount of €750 million Euros.
The transaction represented the sale of those shares at an effective price of €3.3374 euros per share.
(iv) Commercial Paper
At December 31, 2019, debt under commercial paper aggregated to Ps. $2,599.1 million.
Restrictions
A portion of the debt is subject to certain restrictions with respect to maintaining certain financial ratios, as well as restrictions on selling a significant portion of groups of assets, among others. At December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all these requirements.
A portion of the debt is also subject to early maturity or repurchase at the option of the holders in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in each instrument. The definition of change in control varies from instrument to instrument; however, no change in control shall be considered to have occurred as long as its current shareholders continue to hold the majority of the Company’s voting shares.
Covenants
In conformity with the credit agreements, the Company is obliged to comply with certain financial and operating commitments. Such covenants limit in certain cases, the ability of the Company or the guarantor to: pledge assets, carry out certain types of mergers, sell all or substantially all of its assets, and sell control of Telcel.
Such covenants do not restrict the ability of AMX’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or other payment distributions to AMX. The more restrictive financial covenants require the Company to maintain a consolidated ratio of debt to EBITDA (defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization) that does not exceed 4 to 1, and a consolidated ratio of EBITDA to interest paid that is not below 2.5 to 1 (in accordance with the clauses included in the credit agreements).
 
Several of the financing instruments of the Company may be accelerated, at the option of the debt holder in the case that a change in control occurs.
At December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants.
