Totals |  | $ | 8,303 |
(1) In January 2021, we completed the early redemption of all $950.0 million in principal. See note 19, Subsequent Events. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on our notes and bonds payable was 3.4% and the weighted average remaining years until maturity was 8.2 years. Interest incurred on all of the notes and bonds was $252.0 million for 2020, $233.5 million for 2019 and $213.8 million for 2018. 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. Additionally, with the exception of our £400.0 million of 1.625% senior unsecured notes issued in October 2020, for which interest is paid annually, interest on our remaining senior unsecured 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, 2020, we were in compliance with these covenants. B. Note Repayments In January 2020, we repaid our $250.0 million of outstanding 5.75% notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest upon maturity. As a result of the early redemption, we recognized a $9.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the first quarter of 2020. In January 2021, we completed the early redemption on all $950.0 million in principal amount of our outstanding 3.250% notes due October 2022. For further information, see note 19, Subsequent Events.

(1) In July 2020, we issued $350.0 million of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due January 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), which constituted a further issuance of, and formed a single series with, the $600.0 million of 2031 Notes issued in May 2020. The net proceeds of $391.3 million from the December 2020 offering of 1.800% notes due 2033 and the net proceeds of $320.3 million from the December 2020 offering of 0.750% notes due 2026 were used, along with available cash and additional borrowings, as necessary to redeem in January 2021 all $950 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 3.25% notes due 2022 at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued interest and, to the extent not used for those purposes, to fund investment opportunities and for other general corporate purposes. The net proceeds from the October 2020 Sterling-denominated offering of £400.0 million approximated $508.2 million, as converted at the applicable exchange rate on the closing of the offering, and were used to repay GBP-denominated borrowings outstanding under our $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, to settle an outstanding GBP/USD currency exchange swap arrangement and, to the extent not used for those purposes, to fund investment opportunities and for other general corporate purposes. The net proceeds of $376.6 million from the July 2020 note offering and the net proceeds of $590.0 million from the May 2020 note offering were used to repay borrowings under our credit facility, to fund potential investment opportunities and for other general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the May 2019 Sterling-denominated private placement of £315.0 million approximated $400.9 million, as converted at the applicable exchange rate on the closing of the offering, and were used to fund our initial investment in U.K. properties. The net proceeds of $493.5 million from the June 2019 note offering and the net proceeds of approximately $494.4 million from the April 2018 note offering were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our credit facility, to fund investment opportunities, and for other general corporate purposes.
