As of December 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on our notes and bonds payable was 4.4% and the weighted average remaining years until maturity was 6.6 years. Interest incurred on all of the notes and bonds was $171.5 million for 2016, $179.5 million for 2015 and $166.5 million for 2014. The interest rate on each of these notes and bonds is fixed. Our outstanding notes and bonds are unsecured; accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for these or any other obligations. Interest on all of the senior note and bond obligations is paid semiannually. All of these notes and bonds contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause our secured debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of total unencumbered assets not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt. At December 31, 2016, we remain in compliance with these covenants. B. Note Issuances In October 2016, we issued $600 million of 3.000% senior unsecured notes due January 2027. The public offering price for the notes was 98.671% of the principal amount for an effective yield to maturity of 3.153%. The net proceeds of approximately $586.7 million from the offering were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our credit facility. In September 2014, we issued $250 million of 4.125% senior unsecured notes due October 2026, or the 2026 Notes. The price to the investors for the 2026 Notes was 99.499% of the principal amount for an effective yield of 4.178% per annum. A portion of the total net proceeds of $246.4 million from this offering were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under our credit facility, and the remaining proceeds were used for other general corporate purposes, including additional property acquisitions. In June 2014, we issued $350 million of 3.875% senior unsecured notes due July 2024, or the 2024 Notes. The price to the investors for the 2024 Notes was 99.956% of the principal amount for an effective yield of 3.88% per annum. The total net proceeds of $346.7 million from these offerings were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. C. Note Repayment In September 2016, we repaid all $275 million of outstanding 5.950% notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
