On March 4, 2010, we entered into a committed line of credit (CLOC) agreement to support commercial paper issuances, general corporate purposes or for working capital needs. This facility provides funding up to $1.7 billion and matures July 31, 2013. This facility bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.30% to 2.80% or PRIME plus .30% to 1.80% (depending on the type of borrowing) and includes an annual facility fee of .20% to .70% of the committed amounts, based on our credit ratings. Covenants in this facility include: (1) maintenance of a minimum net worth of $650.0 million on the last day of any fiscal quarter; and (2) reduction of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of short-term debt, as defined in the agreement, to $200.0 million or less for thirty consecutive days during the period March 1 to June 30 of each year ("Clean-down requirement"). At April 30, 2011, we were in compliance with these covenants and had net worth of $1.4 billion. We had no balance outstanding under the CLOCs at April 30, 2011 or 2010.
On January 11, 2008, we issued $600.0 million of 7.875% Senior Notes under our shelf registration. The Senior Notes are due January 15, 2013 and are not redeemable by the bondholders prior to maturity. The net proceeds of this transaction were used to repay a $500.0 million facility, with the remaining proceeds used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On October 26, 2004, we issued $400.0 million of 5.125% Senior Notes under our shelf registration. The Senior Notes are due October 30, 2014 and are not redeemable by the bondholders prior to maturity. The net proceeds of this transaction were used to repay $250.0 million in 63/4% Senior Notes that were due in November 2004. The remaining proceeds were used for working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of other debt and other general corporate purposes.
We have obligations related to various acquisitions of $43.3 million and $28.7 million at April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are due from May 2011 to December 2022.
We have a capitalized lease obligation of $11.0 million at April 30, 2011, that is collateralized by land and buildings. The obligation is due in 12 years.
The aggregate payments required to retire long-term debt are $3.4 million, $631.0 million, $1.6 million, $400.9 million, $2.7 million and $13.5 million in fiscal years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and beyond, respectively.
HRB Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which extends credit to member banks based on eligible collateral. At April 30, 2011, HRB Bank had FHLB advance capacity of $276.1 million. At April 30, 2011, we had $25.0 million outstanding on this facility, leaving remaining availability of $251.1 million. Mortgage loans held for investment of $381.5 million serve as eligible collateral and are used to determine total capacity. Our current outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million are due in April 2012 and bear interest at a rate of 2.36%.
