In January 2019 we executed a new three-year committed unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing capacity of $3.0 billion, reducing to $2.0 billion in July 2020. The facility is to fund costs related to the transformation activities announced in November 2018 and to provide additional financial flexibility. In the three months ended March 31, 2019 we borrowed $400 million against this facility to support transformation related disbursements. In April 2019 we renewed our 364-day $2.0 billion credit facility for an additional 364-day term. This facility has been allocated for exclusive use by GM Financial since April 2018.
