Credit Facility

We have a $2.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that matures on June 21, 2021. In addition to outstanding borrowings under the Facility presented in the above table, we had outstanding letters of credit under the Facility of $12.0 million and $18.2 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The average outstanding borrowings under the Facility were $712.3 million and $1,211.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1,042.7 million and $904.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The pricing on the Facility ranges from LIBOR plus 0.95% to 2.05%, with pricing as of September 30, 2017, at LIBOR plus 1.25%. The effective interest rates on our Facility were 2.3% and 1.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 2.0% and 1.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We will continue to use the Facility for, but not limited to, business acquisitions, working capital needs (including payment of accrued incentive compensation), co-investment activities, dividend payments, share repurchases and capital expenditures.

Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt

In addition to our Facility, we have the capacity to borrow up to an additional $97.2 million under local overdraft facilities. Amounts outstanding are presented in the debt table presented above.

On June 29, 2017, we issued and sold an aggregate principal amount of €350.0 million of senior unsecured notes ("Euro Notes") as a private placement to certain institutional investors in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The fixed-rate Euro Notes have 10-year and 12-year maturities as reported in the table above. The proceeds, net of debt issuance costs, were $393.2 million, using June 29, 2017 exchange rates, and were used to reduce outstanding borrowings on our Facility.

The Euro Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness, including our guarantee under the Facility.

As of September 30, 2017, our issuer and senior unsecured ratings are investment grade: BBB (stable outlook) from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Baa1 (stable outlook) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Covenants

Our Facility and senior notes are subject to customary financial and other covenants, including cash interest coverage ratios and leverage ratios, as well as event of default conditions. We remained in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2017.

¹ In the third quarter of 2017, we extended the Warehouse facility; the facility originally had a maximum capacity of $275.0 million and a maturity date of September 25, 2017.

²In the third quarter of 2017, we extended the Warehouse facility; the facility originally had a maximum capacity of $250.0 million and a maturity date of September 22, 2017.

We have lines of credit established for the sole purpose of funding our Warehouse receivables. These lines of credit exist with financial institutions and are secured by the related warehouse receivables. Pursuant to these warehouse facilities, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants regarding (1) minimum net worth, (2) minimum servicing-related loans, and (3) minimum adjusted leverage ratios. We remained in compliance with all covenants under our Warehouse facilities as of September 30, 2017.

As a supplement to our lines of credit, we have an uncommitted facility with Fannie Mae under its As Soon As Pooled ("ASAP") funding program. After origination, we sell certain warehouse receivables to Fannie Mae; the proceeds are used to repay the original lines of credit used to fund the loan. The ASAP funding program requires us to repurchase these loans, generally within 45 days, followed by an immediate, ultimate, sale back to Fannie Mae. The difference between the price paid upon the original sale to Fannie Mae and the ultimate sale reflects a discount representative of borrowing costs.
