Loan Agreement, Credit Facility, and Commercial Paper Borrowings

In second quarter 2020, the Company borrowed $250 million under a new 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Term Loan") as a precautionary measure due to increased financial market volatility, particularly in the availability and terms of commercial paper, resulting from COVID-19. In third quarter 2020, the Term Loan was repaid using available cash. The early repayment resulted in a charge of $1 million for early debt extinguishment costs which was primarily attributable to related unamortized issuance costs.

The Company has access to a $1.50 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") that was amended and restated in December 2021. The amendments include the addition of sustainability-linked pricing terms and extending the maturity to December 2026. This resulted in a charge of $1 million for early debt extinguishment costs which was attributable to unamortized fees. 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, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings. At December 31, 2020, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $50 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.25 percent.

The Credit Facility contains 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 applicable covenants at both December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Fair Value of Borrowings

Eastman has classified its total borrowings at December 31, 2021 and 2020 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, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of total borrowings was $5,737 million and $6,449 million, respectively. The Company had no borrowings classified as Level 1 or Level 3 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
