BORROWINGS AND LINES OF CREDIT

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

As of March 31, 2020, we had entered into, but not utilized, a $2.0 billion unsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper program. We plan to use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital and potential acquisitions. On February 10, 2020, we entered into a revolving credit agreement with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $2.0 billion pursuant to an unsecured, unsubordinated revolving credit facility that matures on April 3, 2025 (the "revolving credit facility"). The revolving credit facility was not available to Carrier or its subsidiaries until after the Separation. The revolving credit facility will support our commercial paper program and support our cash requirements. A commitment fee of 0.125% is charged on the unused commitments. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are available in U.S. Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling and bear interest at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin, which was 125 basis points as of March 31, 2020.

On February 10, 2020, we entered into a $1.75 billion term loan credit agreement that provides an unsecured, unsubordinated credit facility which expires on February 10, 2023 (the "term loan credit facility"). Borrowings under the term loan credit facility are subject to a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin, which was 112.5 basis points as of March 31, 2020.

On February 27, 2020, Carrier issued $9.25 billion of unsecured, unsubordinated long-term notes in six series with maturity dates ranging from 2023 through 2050. The notes were issued pursuant to an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

The revolving credit agreement, term loan credit agreement and indenture contain affirmative and negative covenants customary to financings of this type, that among other things, limit Carrier and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional liens, to make certain fundamental changes and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the revolving credit agreement and term loan credit agreement contain a financial covenant that requires us to not exceed a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio that will be tested beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2020.

On March 27, 2020, Carrier drew $1.75 billion on the term loan credit facility. The proceeds from the notes and the term loan credit facility were used to distribute $10.9 billion to UTC in connection with the Separation.

Long-term debt, all of which was issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 except for Other long-term debt, consisted of the following:
