Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Borrowings

In December 2014, Eastman borrowed $1 billion under a five-year term loan ("2019 Term Loan"). As of March 31, 2017, the 2019 Term Loan agreement balance outstanding was $250 million with an interest rate of 2.23 percent. As of December 31, 2016, the 2019 Term Loan agreement balance outstanding was $250 million with an interest rate of 2.02 percent. In December 2016, the Company borrowed $300 million under a second five-year term loan ("2021 Term Loan"). As of March 31, 2017, the 2021 Term Loan agreement balance outstanding was $299 million with an interest rate of 2.23 percent. As of December 31, 2016, the 2021 Term Loan balance outstanding was $299 million, net of debt issue costs, with an interest rate of 1.95 percent. Borrowings under the 2019 Term Loan and 2021 Term Loan agreements 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 2021. 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. Commercial paper borrowings are classified as short-term. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2017, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $295 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.24 percent. At December 31, 2016, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $280 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.12 percent.

The Company has access to a $250 million accounts receivable securitization agreement (the "A/R Facility") that expires April 2019. Eastman Chemical Financial Corporation ("ECFC"), a subsidiary of the Company, has an agreement to sell interests in trade receivables under the A/R Facility to a third party purchaser. Third party creditors of ECFC have first priority claims on the assets of ECFC before those assets would be available to satisfy the Company's general obligations. Borrowings under the A/R Facility are subject to interest rates based on a spread over the lender's borrowing costs, and ECFC pays a fee to maintain availability of the A/R Facility. In first quarter 2017, the entire $250 million available under the A/R Facility was borrowed and remained outstanding at March 31, 2017 with an interest rate of 1.77 percent. At December 31, 2016, the Company had no borrowings under the A/R Facility.

The Credit and A/R Facilities and other borrowing arrangements contain a number of customary covenants and events of default, including requirements to maintain certain financial ratios that determine the amounts available and terms of borrowings. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Fair Value of Borrowings

The Company has classified its long-term borrowings at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 2016 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 other borrowings under the Term Loans and the A/R Facility equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2.
