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 March 30, 2019, before deducting amounts to backstop our commercial paper program. At March 30, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility. At March 30, 2019, 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. In the future, if 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 March 30, 2019. As of March 30, 2019, we had $182 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 2.64% with maturities of less than 15 days. 2026/2029/2048 Notes In February 2019, we issued senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.8 billion, consisting of $800 million due March 2026 and $1 billion due March 2029. Additionally, we reopened the 2048 Notes issuing an additional $1 billion, bringing the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the 2048 Notes to $1.5 billion. The net proceeds from the issuances were used to repay amounts outstanding under our 364-Day Term Loan Agreement and commercial paper obligations and to fund all or a portion of the purchase price for the pending acquisition of the BRF Thai and European operations. The 2026 Notes carry a fixed interest rate of 4.00% and the 2029 Notes carry a fixed interest rate of 4.35%. Interest payments on the 2026 and 2029 Notes are due semi-annually on March 1 and September 1. After the original issue discounts of $36 million, we received net proceeds of $2,764 million and incurred debt issuance costs of $26 million related to the issuances. 364-Day Term Loan 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 was due November 2019. The interest rate was set based on the selected LIBOR interest period plus 1.125%. In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we extinguished the $1.8 billion outstanding balance using funds borrowed under the 2026 and 2029 Notes and funds borrowed under the reopening of the 2048 Notes. Debt Covenants Our revolving credit facility contains 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 March 30, 2019.
