. the Company saw matured its €750 million, 3.259% bond, with a tenor of ten years.
(ii) Lines of credit
As of December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2023, debt under lines of credit aggregated to Ps. 71,560 million and Ps. 76,954 million, respectively. Telekom Austria closed September 30, 2023 with an aggregated debt of Ps. 12,653 under lines of credit.
The Company has two revolving syndicated credit facilities, one for the Euro equivalent of US$1,500 million and the other for US$2,500 million maturing in 2026 and 2024, respectively. As long as the facilities are committed, a commitment fee is paid. As of September 30, 2023, these credit facilities are undrawn. Telekom Austria has an undrawn revolving syndicated credit facility in Euros for €1,000 million that matures in 2026.
(iv) Commercial Paper
In August 2020, we established a new Euro-Commercial Paper program for a total amount of €2,000 million. As of September 30, 2023, debt under this program aggregated to Ps. 12,315 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. As of September 30, 2023, 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.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants.
