[i]

The Company has an agreement for a credit facility that is drawn in euros. The Company is required to secure any amounts drawn on the facility with a USD cash deposit of 105% of the outstanding euro balance. As at December 31, 2017, the gross amount outstanding under the credit facility was $108 million [€90 million]. The credit agreement includes a netting arrangement with the bank that provides for the legal right of setoff. Accordingly, as at December 31, 2017, this liability balance was offset against the related restricted cash equivalent deposit of $113 million. The remaining net deposit of $5 million was included in the prepaid expenses and other balance, and is restricted under the terms of the loan. As at December 31, 2016, the gross amount outstanding under the credit facility was $185 million [€175 million], and the net deposit included in the prepaid expenses and other balance was $9 million.

During 2016, the Company established a U.S. commercial paper program [the “U.S. Program”] and a euro-commercial paper program [the “euro-Program”]. Under the U.S. Program, the Company may issue U.S. commercial paper notes [the “U.S. notes”] up to a maximum aggregate amount of U.S. $500 million. The U.S. Program is supported by the Company’s existing global credit facility. The proceeds from the issuance of the U.S. notes are being used for general corporate purposes. As at December 31, 2017, $70 million [2016 - $295 million] of U.S. notes were outstanding, with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.84% [2016 – 1.04%], and maturities less than three months.

Under the euro-Program, the Company may issue euro-commercial paper notes [the “euro notes”] up to a maximum aggregate amount of €500 million or its equivalent in alternative currencies. The euro notes issued are guaranteed by the Company’s existing global credit facility. The proceeds from the issuance of the euro notes are being used for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2017, $180 million or €150 million [2016 – $320 million or €304 million] of euro notes were outstanding, with a negative weighted-average interest rate of 0.22% [2016 – 0.07%], and maturities less than three months.
