The carrying value of the euro-denominated 1.50% notes due May 2023 and 1.875% notes due November 2026 will fluctuate with changes in the euro exchange rate. The carrying value of these euro-denominated borrowings have been designated as non-derivative net investment hedges of a portion of the Company's net investments in euro functional-currency denominated subsidiaries to offset foreign currency fluctuations.

In fourth quarter 2019, the Company repaid the 2.7% notes due January 2020 ($250 million principal) using available cash. There were no material debt extinguishment costs associated with the early repayment of this debt. The total consideration for this redemption is reported under financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In fourth quarter 2018, the Company sold 3.5% notes due December 2021 in the principal amount of $300 million and 4.5% notes due December 2028 in the principal amount of $500 million. Net proceeds from the notes were $789 million and were used, together with available cash, for the early and full repayment of the 5.5% notes due November 2019 ($250 million principal) and the partial redemption of the 2.7% notes due January 2020 ($550 million principal). Total consideration for these redemptions was $806 million ($800 million total principal and $6 million for the early redemption premiums) and is reported as financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The early repayment resulted in a charge of $7 million for early debt extinguishment costs which were primarily attributable to the early redemption premiums and related unamortized costs. The book value of the redeemed debt was $799 million.

Revolving Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper Borrowings

The Company has access to a $1.50 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") expiring October 2023. 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 available liquidity for general corporate purposes and supports commercial paper borrowings. Commercial paper borrowings are classified as short-term. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At December 31, 2019, commercial paper borrowings were $170 million with a weighted average interest rate of 2.03 percent. At December 31, 2018, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $130 million with a weighted average interest rate of 2.91 percent.

The Company has access to up to $250 million under an accounts receivable securitization agreement (the "A/R Facility") that expires April 2020. 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. At December 31, 2019, the Company had no borrowings under the A/R Facility. At December 31, 2018, the Company's borrowings under the A/R Facility were $50 million with an interest rate of 3.39 percent.

Through September 2019, the Company had access to borrowings of up to €150 million ($163 million) under a receivables facility based on the discounted value of selected customer accounts receivable. These arrangements included receivables in the United States, Belgium, and Finland, and were subject to various eligibility requirements. Borrowings under this facility were subject to interest at an agreed spread above LIBOR and EURIBOR plus administration and insurance fees and were classified as short-term. In October 2019, this receivables facility was terminated and the balance was repaid using available A/R Facility borrowings. At December 31, 2018, the Company's amount of outstanding borrowings under this facility were $112 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.70 percent.

The Credit Facility and A/R Facility contain customary covenants, including requirements to maintain certain financial ratios, that determine the events of default, amounts available, and terms of borrowings. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Fair Value of Borrowings

Eastman has classified its total borrowings at December 31, 2019 and 2018 under the fair value hierarchy as defined in the accounting policies in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies". The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2. The fair value for the Company's other borrowings primarily under the commercial paper and receivables facility equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fair value of total borrowings was $6.275 billion and $6.216 billion, respectively. The Company had no borrowings classified as Level 1 or Level 3 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
