Revolving Credit Facility and Letters of Credit
We have a $1.75 billion revolving credit facility that supports short-term funding needs and serves as a backstop to our commercial paper program which will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate in March 2023. Amounts available for borrowing under this facility totaled $1.75 billion at December 29, 2018, before deducting amounts to backstop our commercial paper program. At December 29, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility. At December 29, 2018, we had $111 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 $1 billion as of December 29, 2018. As of December 29, 2018, we had $737 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 2.94% with maturities of less than 15 days.
364-Day Term Loan Agreement
In November 2018, as part of the financing for the Keystone Foods acquisition, we borrowed $1.8 billion under an unsecured term loan facility, which is due November 2019. Interest will reset based on the selected LIBOR interest period plus 1.125%, and will be reset according to the terms of the term loan facility at 180 days after the initial borrowing date.
Debt Covenants
Our revolving credit facility and term loan 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 29, 2018.
