In April 2018 we amended and restated our two existing revolving credit facilities and entered into a third facility, increasing our aggregate borrowing capacity from $14.5 billion to $16.5 billion. These facilities consist of a 364-day, $2.0 billion facility, a three-year, $4.0 billion facility and a five-year, $10.5 billion facility. The facilities are available to us as well as certain wholly- owned subsidiaries, including GM Financial. The three-year, $4.0 billion facility allows for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and other currencies and includes a letter of credit sub-facility of $1.1 billion. The five-year, $10.5 billion facility allows for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and other currencies. The 364-day, $2.0 billion facility allows for borrowing in U.S. Dollars only. We have allocated the 364-day, $2.0 billion facility for exclusive use by GM Financial.

In September 2018 we issued $2.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes with an initial weighted average interest rate of 5.03% and maturity dates ranging from 2021 to 2049. The notes are governed by the same indenture that was used in past issuances, which contains terms and covenants customary of these types of securities including limitation on the amount of certain secured debt we may incur. The net proceeds from the issuance of these senior unsecured notes were used to repay $1.5 billion of debt in October 2018 upon maturity, pre-fund $584 million in certain mandatory contributions for our U.K. and Canada pension plans due in 2019 through 2021, and for other general corporate purposes.

Secured debt consists of revolving credit facilities and securitization notes payable. Most of the secured debt was issued by VIEs and is repayable only from proceeds related to the underlying pledged assets. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on GM Financial's involvement with VIEs. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018 GM Financial entered into new or renewed credit facilities with a total net additional borrowing capacity of $345 million, which had substantially the same terms as existing debt and GM Financial issued $16.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of securitization notes payable with an initial weighted average interest rate of 2.89% and maturity dates ranging from 2022 to 2026.

Unsecured debt consists of senior notes, credit facilities and other unsecured debt. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018 GM Financial issued $7.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes with an initial weighted average interest rate of 3.17% and maturity dates ranging from 2020 to 2028.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, GM Financial launched an unsecured commercial paper notes program in the U.S. At September 30, 2018, the principal amount outstanding of GM Financial's commercial paper in the U.S. was $1.5 billion.

Each of the revolving credit facilities and the indentures governing GM Financial's notes contain terms and covenants including limitations on GM Financial's ability to incur certain liens.
