(1) During June 2012, we expanded and extended our senior secured hedged inventory facility and expanded PNG’s credit facility. See “Credit Facilities” below for further discussion. (2) We classify as short-term certain borrowings under our PAA senior unsecured revolving credit facility. These borrowings are primarily designated as working capital borrowings, must be repaid within one year and are primarily for hedged NGL and crude oil inventory and NYMEX and ICE margin deposits. (3) PNG classifies as short-term debt any borrowings under the PNG senior unsecured revolving credit facility that have been designated as working capital borrowings and must be repaid within one year. Such borrowings are primarily related to a portion of PNG’s hedged natural gas inventory. (4) Our $500 million 4.25% senior notes will mature in September 2012. The proceeds from these notes are being used to supplement capital available from our hedged inventory facility, to fund working capital needs associated with base levels of waterborne cargos and for seasonal NGL inventory requirements. After these notes mature, we intend to use our credit facilities to finance hedged inventory. See “Credit Facilities” section below for discussion of our recent expansion of certain of our facilities. Concurrent with the issuance of these senior notes in July 2009, we entered into interest rate swaps. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our interest rate swaps. (5) In March 2012, we completed the issuance of $750 million, 3.65% senior notes due 2022 and $500 million, 5.15% senior notes due 2042. The senior notes were sold at 99.823% and 99.755% of face value, respectively. Interest payments are due on June 1 and December 1 each year, beginning on December 1, 2012. We used the net proceeds from these offerings to fund a portion of the consideration for the BP NGL Acquisition and for general partnership purposes. See Note 4 for more information regarding this acquisition. (6) Our fixed-rate senior notes had a face value of approximately $6.0 billion and $4.8 billion as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We estimated the aggregate fair value of these notes as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 to be approximately $6.8 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively. Our fixed-rate senior notes are traded among institutions, and these trades are routinely published by a reporting service. Our determination of fair value is based on reported trading activity near quarter end. We estimate that the carrying value of outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities approximates fair value as interest rates reflect current market rates. The fair value estimates for both our senior notes and credit facilities are based upon observable market data and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Credit Facilities Senior unsecured 364-day revolving credit agreement. In December 2011, we entered into a 364-day credit facility agreement with a borrowing capacity of $1.2 billion. Pursuant to its terms, we had the option to activate the facility at any time over a six-month period. In March 2012, we elected to terminate this credit agreement. Senior secured hedged inventory facility. In June 2012, we amended our senior secured hedged inventory facility which, among other things, increased the committed borrowing capacity from $850 million to $1.4 billion, of which $400 million (an increase from $250 million under the original facility) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to obtaining additional or increased lender commitments, the committed amount of the facility may be increased to $1.9 billion. The amendment also extended the maturity date of the facility by one year to August 2014 and provides for one or more one-year extensions, subject to applicable approval. PNG senior unsecured credit agreement. In June 2012, PNG partially exercised the accordion feature of its original senior unsecured credit agreement and increased from $250 million to $350 million the aggregate amount of revolving credit facility commitments. Also in June 2012, PNG amended this credit agreement which, among other things, provides for the further increase of the committed amount to $550 million, subject to obtaining additional or increased lender commitments. The amendment also provides for one or more one-year extensions of the revolving credit facility maturity date of August 2016 and the GO Bond mandatory put date, as defined in such amendment, in each case subject to lender approvals. Letters of Credit In connection with our crude oil supply and logistics activities, we provide certain suppliers with irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure our obligation for the purchase of crude oil. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $34 million and $33 million, respectively.
