In March 2018, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal of 4.00% senior notes due in 2021 and $500 million of 4.50% senior notes due in 2023.

As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $125 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

DP&L — In June 2019, DP&L issued $425 million aggregate principal of 3.95% senior secured notes due in 2049. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to prepay the outstanding principal of $435 million under its variable rate $445 million credit agreement due in 2022. DPL — In April 2019, DPL issued $400 million aggregate principal of 4.35% senior unsecured notes due in 2029. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to redeem, at par, $400 million of the $780 million aggregate principal outstanding of its 7.25% senior unsecured notes due in 2021. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Non-Recourse Debt in Default — The current portion of non-recourse debt includes the following subsidiary debt in default as of June 30, 2019 (in millions).
Subsidiary |  | Primary Nature of Default |  | Debt in Default |  | Net Assets
AES Puerto Rico |  | Covenant |  | $ | 303 |  |  | $ | 153 |
AES Ilumina (Puerto Rico) |  | Covenant |  | 33 |  |  | 19 |
AES Jordan Solar |  | Covenant |  | 6 |  |  | 3 |
Total |  |  |  | $ | 342 |  |  |
The above defaults are not payment defaults. In Puerto Rico, the subsidiary non-recourse debt defaults were triggered by failure to comply with covenants or other requirements contained in the non-recourse debt documents due to the bankruptcy of the offtaker. The AES Corporation’s recourse debt agreements include cross-default clauses that will trigger if a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries for which the non-recourse debt is in default provides 20% or more of the Parent Company’s total cash distributions from businesses for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had no defaults which resulted in or were at risk of triggering a cross-default under the recourse debt of the Parent Company. In the event the Parent Company is not in compliance with the financial covenants of its senior secured revolving credit facility, restricted payments will be limited to regular quarterly shareholder dividends at the then-prevailing rate. Payment defaults and bankruptcy defaults would preclude the making of any restricted payments.
