The Company’s unsecured public notes contain certain financial and operating covenants including, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with its unsecured public debt covenants for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Line of Credit and Commercial Paper On November 1, 2019, the Company replaced its existing $2.0 billion facility with a $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility maturing November 1, 2024. The Company has the ability to increase available borrowings by an additional $750.0 million by adding lenders to the facility, obtaining the agreement of existing lenders to increase their commitments or incurring one or more term loans. The interest rate on advances under the facility will generally be LIBOR plus a spread (currently 0.775%), or based on bids received from the lending group, and the Company pays an annual facility fee (currently 0.125%). Both the spread and the facility fee are dependent on the Company’s senior unsecured credit rating. The weighted average interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company has an unsecured commercial paper note program in the United States. On November 4, 2019, the Company increased the maximum aggregate amount outstanding for the commercial paper program from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion. The notes will be sold under customary terms in the United States commercial paper note market subject to market conditions and will rank pari passu with all of the Company’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The notes bear interest at various floating rates with a weighted average interest rate of 1.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The weighted average amount outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $522.7 million.
