See Note 21 Subsidiary Public Issuers for further details.
On October 7, 2019, Brookfield Infrastructure Finance ULC issued C$500 million of medium-term notes maturing October 9, 2029 with a coupon of 3.4%. On November 6, 2019, the proceeds were used to early redeem C$375 million of medium-term notes maturing October 30, 2020.
On October 30, 2018, Brookfield Infrastructure Finance ULC repaid C$125 million of maturing medium-term notes.
On September 10, 2018, Brookfield Infrastructure Finance ULC issued C$500 million of medium-term notes maturing September 11, 2028 with a coupon of 4.2%. The proceeds were swapped into U.S. dollars on a matched maturity basis at an all-in rate of 4.7%.
The increase in corporate borrowings of $482 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 is due to net draws of $310 million on the corporate revolving credit facility, the issuance of C$500 million of medium-term notes, and the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. These increases were partially offset by the early redemption of C$375 million medium-term notes.
Brookfield Infrastructure has entered into a $500 million revolving credit facility with Brookfield to provide additional liquidity for general corporate purposes and capital expenditures, if required. The revolving credit facility has an effective date of February 8, 2018 and automatically renews for four consecutive one year terms on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of such effective date, which would result in it ultimately maturing on February 8, 2023. Brookfield has the option to terminate the agreement prior to February 8 each year by providing Brookfield Infrastructure with written notice. All obligations of Brookfield Infrastructure under the facility were guaranteed by our partnership. Loans under this facility accrued interest on LIBOR plus 2.0% and no commitment fees were incurred for any undrawn balance. As of December 31, 2019, there were $nil (2018: $nil) of borrowings outstanding.

Non-recourse borrowings have increased by $5.4 billion since year-end. This increase is due to additional borrowings primarily associated with our recent acquisitions and the impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by non-recourse borrowings reclassified to held for sale.
