Commercial Paper

 

As of June 30, 2012, Devon had $2.1 billion of outstanding commercial paper at an average rate of 0.40 percent.

 

Credit Lines

 

On April 7, 2012, $0.46 billion of Devon’s Senior Credit Facility matured and was not extended. After the maturity, Devon maintains a $2.19 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Senior Credit Facility"). As of June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. 

 

The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be less than 65 percent. As of June 30, 2012, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 23.8 percent.
