Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding and $13 million in letters of credit issued under FCX’s revolving credit facility, resulting in availability of approximately $3.5 billion, of which approximately $1.5 billion could be used for additional letters of credit. In April 2018, FCX, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) and FM O&G LLC entered into a new $3.5 billion, five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility, which replaced FCX’s prior revolving credit facility (scheduled to mature on May 31, 2019). The new revolving credit facility is available until April 20, 2023, with $500 million available to PT-FI, and has substantially similar structure and terms as the prior revolving credit facility. Interest on loans made under the new revolving credit facility will, at the option of FCX, be determined based on the adjusted London Interbank Offered rate or the alternate base rate (each as defined in the new revolving credit facility) plus a spread to be determined by reference to FCX’s credit ratings. The new revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative covenants and representations, and also contains a number of negative covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of FCX's subsidiaries that are not borrowers or guarantors to incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations) and FCX's or its subsidiaries’ ability to: create liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in mergers, liquidations and dissolutions; and sell assets. FCX’s new revolving credit facility also contains financial ratios governing maximum total leverage and the minimum interest expense coverage ratio. FCX’s total leverage ratio (ratio of total debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the credit agreement) cannot exceed 3.75 x, and the minimum interest expense coverage ratio (ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense, as defined in the credit agreement) is 2.25 x. Senior Notes. In March 2018, FCX’s 2.375% Senior Notes matured, and the $1.4 billion outstanding principal balance was repaid. On April 4, 2018, FCX redeemed $454 million of aggregate principal amount of outstanding senior notes, consisting of $404 million of FCX 6.75% Senior Notes due 2022 and $50 million of FM O&G LLC 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2023. Holders of these senior notes received the principal amount together with the redemption premium and accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. As a result of these redemptions, FCX will record a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $10 million in second-quarter 2018. Cerro Verde Credit Facility. In March 2018, Cerro Verde prepaid $100 million under its credit facility. Interest Expense, Net. Consolidated interest costs (before capitalized interest) totaled $176 million in first-quarter 2018 and $195 million in first-quarter 2017. Capitalized interest added to property, plant, equipment and mine development costs, net, totaled $25 million in first-quarter 2018 and $28 million in first-quarter 2017. Common Stock. In February 2018, FCX’s Board of Directors (the Board) reinstated a cash dividend on FCX’s common stock. On March 28, 2018, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, which was paid on May 1, 2018, to common stockholders of record as of April 13, 2018.
