Senior unsecured notes
The Company's senior unsecured notes (the notes) consist of:
$300 of notes that mature on October 8, 2027, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 2.048% per annum; and
$250 of notes that mature on June 27, 2030, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.393% per annum.

The notes rank pari passu with all other debt and future indebtedness of the Company.

Revolving credit and term loan facilities
The Company has syndicated senior credit facilities, structured as a sustainability-linked loan, consisting of an unsecured senior revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $800 and an unsecured senior term loan of $310 in two tranches. Additional funds of $600 can be accessed subject to approval and under the same terms and conditions. On June 27, 2024, the Company amended the syndicated senior credit facilities to change certain terms and conditions, including extending the maturity dates for the revolving credit facility from December 8, 2027 to June 27, 2029, the $150 tranche B of the term loan from December 8, 2025 to June 27, 2027, and the $160 tranche C of the term loan from December 8, 2027 to June 27, 2029. The amendments to the terms and conditions were not considered to be substantial. As such, the amendments were accounted for as a debt modification.

The Company's unsecured bilateral term credit facility of $100 matured on June 17, 2024 and has been replaced with a new unsecured bilateral term credit facility of $100 maturing on June 28, 2025.

At December 31, 2024, $256.0 of the revolving credit facility was payable in Canadian funds (2023 - payable in US funds of $79.5 (US$60.0)). As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, the term loan facilities were payable in Canadian funds. The revolving credit facility and the term loan facilities may be repaid from time to time at the option of the Company. The average interest rate for the revolving credit facility and term loan facilities at December 31, 2024, was 4.86% (2023 – 6.78%).
The funds available under the revolving credit facility are reduced by overdrafts (included in bank indebtedness in the consolidated statements of financial position) and outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the facility agreement. At December 31, 2024, the Company had issued outstanding letters of credit that expire at various dates before October 2025, are payable in various currencies, and total $4.2 (2023 – $2.4).
