Credit Facility Effective June 25, 2018, we amended our syndicated credit facility increasing the total financing commitment to $2.6 billion which matures in July 2023. Our syndicated credit facility is comprised of 20 financial institutions, including seven manufacturer-affiliated finance companies. We have the option to reallocate the commitments, provided that the used vehicle inventory floor plan financing commitment does not exceed 16.5% of aggregate commitments, the revolving loan commitment does not exceed 18.75% of aggregate commitments, and the sum of these commitments plus the new vehicle inventory floor plan financing commitment does not exceed the aggregate total financing commitment of $2.6 billion. Additionally, we may request an increase in the aggregate new vehicle floor plan commitment of up to $400 million provided that the aggregate commitment does not exceed $3.0 billion. All borrowings from, and repayments to, our lending group are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as financing activities. Our obligations under our revolving syndicated credit facility are secured by a substantial amount of our assets, including our inventory (including new and used vehicles, parts and accessories), equipment, accounts receivable (and other rights to payment) and our equity interests in certain subsidiaries. Under our revolving syndicated credit facility, our obligations relating to new vehicle floor plan loans are secured only be collateral owned by borrowers of new vehicle floor plan loans under the credit facility. The interest rate on the credit facility, as amended, varies based on the type of debt, with the rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% for new vehicle floor plan financing, one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% for used vehicle floor plan financing; and a variable interest rate on the revolving financing ranging from the one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% to 2.50%, depending on our leverage ratio. The annual interest rate associated with our new vehicle floor plan commitment was 3.77% at December 31, 2018. The annual interest rate associated with both our used vehicle inventory financing facility and our revolving line of credit was 4.02% at December 31, 2018.
