Credit Lines Devon has a $3.0 billion Senior Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2020, Devon had $2 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Senior Credit Facility. There were no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020. In connection with the closing of the sale of its Canadian business, Devon reallocated and terminated all Canadian commitments under the Senior Credit Facility in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facility. The termination of the Canadian subfacility was effective as of June 27, 2019, and such termination did not decrease the $3.0 billion in total revolving commitments under, or otherwise modify the terms of, the Senior Credit Facility. Subsequent to Devon’s divestment of substantially all of its oil and gas assets and operations in Canada, Devon entered into an amendment and extension agreement on December 13, 2019 to, among other things, (i) effect the extension of the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility from October 5, 2023 to October 5, 2024 with respect to the consenting lenders, (ii) modify the maximum number of maturity extension requests during the term of the Senior Credit Facility from two to three and (iii) eliminate various references to the terminated Canadian subfacility. As a result of this amendment, Devon has the option to extend the October 5, 2024 maturity date by two additional one-year periods subject to lender consent, and the maximum borrowing capacity of the Senior Credit Facility becomes $2.8 billion after October 5, 2023. Amounts borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility may, at the election of Devon, bear interest at various fixed rate options for periods of up to twelve months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate. However, Devon may elect to borrow at the prime rate. The Senior Credit Facility currently provides for an annual facility fee of $6 million. 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 no greater than 65%. The credit agreement contains definitions of total funded debt and total capitalization that include adjustments to the respective amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For example, total capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial write-downs such as asset impairments. As of December 31, 2020, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 25%. Commercial Paper Devon’s Senior Credit Facility supports its $3.0 billion of short-term credit under its commercial paper program. Commercial paper debt generally has a maturity of between 1 and 90 days, although it can have a maturity of up to 365 days, and bears interest at rates agreed to at the time of the borrowing. The interest rate is generally based on a standard index such as the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the money market rate as found in the commercial paper market. As of December 31, 2020, Devon had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings. Financing Costs, Net The following schedule includes the components of net financing costs.

During 2018, Devon recognized a $312 million charge on early retirement of debt, consisting of $304 million in cash retirement costs and $8 million of noncash charges. These costs, along with other charges associated with retiring the debt, are included in net financing costs in the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings.
