Mosaic Credit Facility
On August 19, 2021, we entered into a committed, unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 billion (the “Mosaic Credit Facility”), with a maturity date of August 19, 2026, which is intended to serve as our primary senior unsecured bank credit facility. The Mosaic Credit Facility has cross-default provisions that, in general, provide that a failure to pay principal or interest under, or any other amount payable under, any indebtedness with an outstanding principal amount of $100 million or more, or breach or default under such indebtedness that permits the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof, will result in a cross-default.
The Mosaic Credit Facility requires Mosaic to maintain certain financial ratios, including a ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness, which has been redefined to exclude unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, to Consolidated Capitalization Ratio (as defined) of no greater than 0.65 to 1.0, as well as a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. We were in compliance with these ratios as of December 31, 2023.
The Mosaic Credit Facility also contains other events of default and covenants that limit various matters. These provisions include limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments and acquisitions (other than capital expenditures), certain mergers, certain sales of assets and other matters customary for credit facilities of this nature.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit that utilized a portion of the amount available for revolving loans under the Mosaic Credit Facility of $10.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively. The net available borrowings for revolving loans under the Mosaic Credit Facility were approximately $2.49 billion as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, unused commitment fees accrued at an average rate of 0.15%, generating expenses of $3.8 million in each period. In 2021, unused commitment fees accrued at 0.40% under our prior credit facility, which was in place through August 19, 2021, and at 0.15% thereafter, generating expense of $7.0 million.
Short-Term Debt
Short-term debt consists of the revolving credit facility under the Mosaic Credit Facility, under which there were no borrowings as of December 31, 2023, working capital financing arrangements and various other short-term borrowings related to our international operations in India, China and Brazil. These other short-term borrowings outstanding were $399.7 million and $224.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We have an inventory financing arrangement whereby we can sell up to $625 million of certain inventory for cash and subsequently repurchase the inventory at an agreed upon price and time in the future, not to exceed 180 days. Under the terms of the agreement, we may borrow up to 90% of the value of the inventory. It is later repurchased by Mosaic at the original sale price plus interest and any transaction costs. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no outstanding balance under this arrangement. Any outstanding amount would be classified as short-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We have Receivable Purchasing Agreements (“RPAs”), with banks whereby, from time-to-time, we sell certain receivables. The net face value of the purchased receivables may not exceed $600 million at any point in time. The purchase price of the receivable sold under the RPA is the face value of the receivable less an agreed upon discount. The receivables sold under the RPAs are accounted for as true sales. Upon sale, these receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash received is presented as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company sold approximately $1.3 billion and $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of accounts receivable under these arrangements. Discounts on sold receivables were not material for any period presented. Following the sale to the banks, we continue to service the collection of the receivables on behalf of the banks without further consideration. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no amount outstanding to be remitted to the bank. Any outstanding amount would be classified in accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash collected and remitted is presented as cash used in financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
We have a commercial paper program which allows us to issue unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities that vary, but do not exceed 397 days from the date of issue, up to a maximum aggregate face or principal amount outstanding at any time of $2.5 billion. We plan to use the revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for borrowings under the commercial paper program. As of December 31, 2023, we had $399.5 million outstanding under this program, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.62% and a remaining average term of nine days. As of December 31, 2022, we had $224.8 million outstanding under this program, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.66% and a remaining average term of 10 days.
We had additional outstanding bilateral letters of credit of $52.6 million as of December 31, 2023, which includes $50.0 million as required by the 2015 Consent Decrees as described further in Note 14 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Long-Term Debt, including Current Maturities
On November 13, 2017, we issued senior notes consisting of $550 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior notes due 2022 and $700 million aggregate principal amount of 4.050% senior notes due 2027 (“Senior Notes of 2017”). In 2022,
we paid the outstanding balance of $550 million on our 3.250% senior notes, due November 15, 2022, without premium or penalty.
In May 2023, we entered into a 10-year senior unsecured term loan facility pursuant to which we can draw up to $700 million. The term loan matures on May 18, 2033. We may voluntarily prepay the outstanding principal without premium or penalty. As of December 31, 2023, $500 million has been drawn under this facility. Interest rates for the term loan are variable and are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus credit spread adjustments.
On, December 4, 2023, we issued new senior notes consisting of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% due 2028 (the “Senior Notes of 2023”). We have the following additional senior notes outstanding: $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.45% senior notes due 2033 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2043 (collectively, the “Senior Notes of 2013”); and $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2041 (collectively, the “Senior Notes of 2011”). In 2023, we paid the outstanding balance of $900 million on our 4.25% senior notes, due November 15, 2023, without premium or penalty.
The Senior Notes of 2011, the Senior Notes of 2013, the Senior Notes of 2017, and the Senior Notes of 2023 are Mosaic’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with Mosaic’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The indenture governing these notes contains restrictive covenants limiting debt secured by liens, sale and leaseback transactions and mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all assets, as well as other events of default.
A debenture issued by Mosaic Global Holdings, Inc., one of our consolidated subsidiaries, due in 2028 (the “2028 Debenture”), is outstanding as of December 31, 2023, with a balance of $147.1 million. The indenture governing the 2028 Debenture also contains restrictive covenants limiting debt secured by liens, sale and leaseback transactions and mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all assets, as well as events of default. The obligations under the 2028 Debenture are guaranteed by the Company and several of its subsidiaries.
Long-term debt primarily consists of unsecured notes, finance leases, unsecured debentures and secured notes. Long-term debt as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consisted of the following:

Structured Accounts Payable Arrangements
In Brazil, we finance some of our potash-based fertilizer, sulfur, ammonia and other raw material product purchases through third-party contractual arrangements. These arrangements provide that the third-party intermediary advance the amount of the scheduled payment to the vendor, less an appropriate discount, at a scheduled payment date and Mosaic makes payment to the third-party intermediary at dates ranging from 98 to 182 days from date of shipment. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, these structured accounts payable arrangements were $399.9 million and $751.2 million, respectively.
