Letter of Credit and Revolving Credit Facilities In the normal course of its operations, the Company enters into agreements with financial institutions to obtain secured and unsecured credit facilities. On December 17, 2019, Arch Capital and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $750.0 million five-year credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndication of lenders. The Credit Facility consists of a $250.0 million secured facility for letters of credit (the “Secured Facility”) and a $500.0 million unsecured facility for revolving loans and letters of credit (the “Unsecured Facility”). Obligations of each borrower under the Secured Facility for letters of credit are secured by cash and eligible securities of such borrower held in collateral accounts. Commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased up to, but not exceeding, an aggregate of $1.3 billion. Arch Capital has a one-time option to convert any or all outstanding revolving loans of Arch Capital and/or Arch-U.S. to term loans with the same terms as the revolving loans except that any prepayments may not be re-borrowed. Arch-U.S. guarantees the obligations of Arch Capital, and Arch Capital guarantees the obligations of Arch-U.S. Borrowings of revolving loans may be made at a variable rate based on LIBOR or an alternative base rate at the option of Arch Capital. Arch Capital and its lenders may agree on a LIBOR successor rate at the appropriate time to address the replacement of LIBOR. Secured letters of credit are available for issuance on behalf of certain Arch Capital subsidiaries. The Credit Facility is structured such that each party that requests a letter of credit or borrowing does so only for itself and its own obligations. The Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type, including restrictions on indebtedness, consolidated tangible net worth, minimum shareholders’ equity levels and minimum financial strength ratings. Arch Capital and its subsidiaries which are party to the agreement were in compliance with all covenants contained therein at December 31, 2020. Commitments under the Credit Facility will expire on December 17, 2024, and all loans then outstanding must be repaid. Letters of credit issued under the Unsecured Facility will not have an expiration date later than December 17, 2025. Under the $250.0 million secured letter of credit facility, Arch Capital’s subsidiaries had $218.4 million of letters of credit outstanding and remaining capacity of $31.6 million at December 31, 2020. In addition, certain of Arch Capital’s subsidiaries had outstanding secured and unsecured letters of credit of $250.0 million and $26.2 million respectively, which were issued in the normal course of business. When issued, all secured letters of credit are secured by a portion of the investment portfolio. At December 31, 2020, these letters of credit were secured by investments with a fair value of $262.4 million. Watford has access to a $100 million secured letter of credit facility expiring on May 16, 2021, a $50 million unsecured letter of credit facility which auto extends on September 17, 2021 and a $440 million secured credit facility expiring on November 30, 2021 that provides for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit not to exceed $220 million. Borrowings of revolving loans may be made by Watford at a variable rate based on LIBOR or an alternative base rate at the option of Watford. At December 31, 2020, Watford had $126.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the facilities and $155.7 million of borrowings outstanding under the secured credit facility, backed by Watford’s investment portfolio. Watford was in compliance with all covenants contained in these credit facilities at December 31, 2020. The Company does not guarantee or provide credit support for Watford, and the Company’s financial exposure to Watford is limited to its investment in Watford’s senior notes, common and preferred shares and counterparty credit risk (mitigated by collateral) arising from the reinsurance transactions. The Company’s outstanding revolving credit agreement borrowings were as follows:
