In July 2018, the Company terminated its $200 North American securitization facility, which included a deferred purchase price component, and entered into a new securitization facility to sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable balances up to a maximum of $375. The new facility, which matures in 2020, removed the deferred purchase price component but requires the Company to maintain a deposit in a restricted cash account. The Company received net proceeds of $106 from the termination of the securitization facility and resale of receivables under the new agreement. These proceeds are included in the beneficial interest in securitized receivables line in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The Company recorded expenses related to securitization and factoring facilities of $23 in 2019, $21 in 2018, and $15 in 2017 as interest expense.
