Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Borrowings

In connection with the 2014 acquisition of Taminco Corporation, Eastman borrowed $1 billion under a five-year Term Loan. As of March 31, 2016, the Term Loan balance outstanding was $350 million with an interest rate of 1.68 percent. As of December 31, 2015, the Term Loan balance outstanding was $350 million with an interest rate of 1.67 percent. Borrowings under the Term Loan are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates.

The Company has access to a $1.25 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") that expires October 2020. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates and a commitment fee is paid on the total unused commitment. The Credit Facility provides liquidity support for commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, any outstanding commercial paper borrowings reduce capacity for borrowings available under the Credit Facility. Commercial paper borrowings are classified as short-term. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2016, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $512 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.81 percent. At December 31, 2015, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $430 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.80 percent.

The $250 million accounts receivable securitization agreement (the "A/R Facility") expires April 2018. Borrowings under the A/R Facility are subject to interest rates based on a spread over the lender's borrowing costs, and the Company pays a fee to maintain availability of the A/R Facility. At March 31, 2016, the Company's borrowings under the A/R Facility were $190 million supported by trade receivables with an interest rate of 1.25 percent. In first quarter 2016, $10 million of the Company's borrowings under the A/R Facility were repaid using available cash. At December 31, 2015, the Company's borrowings under the A/R Facility were $200 million supported by trade receivables with an interest rate of 1.11 percent.

The Credit Facility and the A/R Facility, and the Term Loan, contain a number of customary covenants and events of default, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants for all periods presented. Total available borrowings under the Credit Facility and A/R Facility were $769 million and $842 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Changes in available borrowings were due primarily to an increase in commercial paper borrowings. The Company would not have violated applicable covenants for these periods if the total available amounts of the facilities had been borrowed.

Fair Value of Borrowings

The Company has classified its long-term borrowings at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, under the fair value hierarchy as defined in the accounting policies in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on current market prices and is classified as Level 1. The fair value for the Company's floating-rate borrowings, which relate to the Term Loan, the A/R Facility, and capital leases, equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2.
