Revolving Credit Facility We have a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that supports short-term funding needs and letters of credit and will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate in May 2022. Amounts available for borrowing under this facility totaled $1,488 million at December 30, 2017, net of outstanding letters of credit and outstanding borrowings. At December 30, 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility totaling $7 million, none of which were drawn upon. We had an additional $100 million of bilateral letters of credit issued separately from the revolving credit facility, none of which were drawn upon. Our letters of credit are issued primarily in support of leasing and workers’ compensation insurance programs and other legal obligations. If in the future any of our subsidiaries shall guarantee any of our material indebtedness, such subsidiary shall be required to guarantee the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under this facility. Commercial Paper Program We have a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of $800 million as of December 30, 2017. As of December 30, 2017, we had $682 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 1.85% with maturities of less than 45 days. Term Loan Tranche B due August 2019 During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we extinguished the $427 million outstanding balance of the Term Loan Tranche B due in August 2019 using cash on hand and proceeds received from the sale of a non-protein business. Debt Covenants Our revolving credit and term loan facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit or restrict our ability to: create liens and encumbrances; incur debt; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions and investments; dispose of or transfer assets; change the nature of our business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and enter into hedging transactions, in each case, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. In addition, we are required to maintain minimum interest expense coverage and maximum debt-to-capitalization ratios. Our senior notes also contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit or restrict our ability to: create liens; engage in certain sale/leaseback transactions; and engage in certain consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. We were in compliance with all debt covenants at December 30, 2017.
