External Debt and Financing Arrangements

In September 2018, we issued $600 million of unsecured senior notes (“2018 Senior Notes”) in a registered public offering. The 2018 Senior Notes are due in 2023 with a coupon rate of 4%. We used the proceeds from the 2018 Senior Notes offering to pay down our revolving credit facility.  On June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the net carrying value of the 2018 Senior Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts, and debt issuance costs, was $595.5 million and $595.0 million, respectively.

In June 2015, we issued $900 million of unsecured senior notes (“2015 Senior Notes”, and collectively with the 2018 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”) in a registered public offering. The 2015 Senior Notes consist of two tranches: $400 million of five-year notes due in 2020 with a coupon rate of 3% and $500 million of ten-year notes due in 2025 with a coupon rate of 4%. We used the proceeds from the 2015 Senior Notes offering to pay down our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. On June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the net carrying value of the 2015 Senior Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts and debt issuance costs, was $894.8 million and $894.0 million, respectively.

External Debt and Financing Arrangements (Continued)

In March 2018, the Company entered into a $350 million term loan for general corporate purposes scheduled to mature in March 2019. In August 2018, the Company amended its existing $350 million term loan to increase the borrowings under the term loan from $350 million to $525 million.  In March 2019, the Company amended the $525 million term loan to decrease the borrowings from $525 million to $350 million and extend the maturity date to March 2020.  All other terms and conditions on the amended term loan remain the same as the previous $525 million term loan.  At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, amounts due under the term loan were $350.0 million and $525.0 million, respectively, which are included within short term debt in our consolidated balance sheet. Interest rates under the term loan are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from LIBOR + 0.625% to LIBOR + 1.25%.  Covenants under the term loan are the same as the existing $1.25 billion revolving credit agreement.  As of June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

In June 2016, the Company amended and restated its 2011 credit agreement to combine and rollover the prior revolving credit facility and term loan into a new standalone $1.25 billion revolving credit facility.  This amendment and restatement of the credit agreement was a non-cash transaction for the Company.  Terms and conditions of the credit agreement, including the total commitment amount, essentially remained the same as under the 2011 credit agreement.  The revolving credit facility will mature in June 2021 and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. On June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our outstanding borrowings under this facility were $575.0 million and $320.0 million, respectively, which is included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Interest rates under the facility are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from LIBOR + 0.9% to LIBOR + 1.5%.  As of June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

We currently have uncommitted bank lines of credit in China, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up to $23.5 million in aggregate, of which there were no outstanding balances as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
