Approximately $539 million of the Company's total variable-rate notes payable are effectively fixed via interest rate swaps at September 30, 2021, resulting in an effective weighted-average interest rate for the full debt portfolio of 3.3%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued $363 million of debt, comprised of $311 million of unsecured loans from the PSP and $54 million in proceeds from issuance of debt. Debt proceeds were offset by $1.2 billion in debt payments. Included within total debt payments is the full repayment of the $135 million loan from the U.S. Treasury made available under the CARES Act, $363 million outstanding balance on two credit facilities, and prepayment of the $425 million 364-day term loan facility. The $600 million PSP notes are unsecured senior term loans with a 10-year term, bearing an interest rate of 1% in years 1 through 5, and an interest rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 2% in years 6 through 10. The PSP notes are prepayable at par without penalty. CARES Act In 2020, the Company finalized an agreement with the Treasury to obtain up to $1.9 billion via a secured term loan facility. Obligations under the loan agreement were secured by assets related to, and revenues generated by, Alaska's Mileage Plan TM frequent flyer program, as well as by 30 aircraft and 15 spare engines. In 2020, the Company drew $135 million under the agreement, which was used for general corporate purposes and certain operating expenses in accordance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement and the applicable provisions of the CARES Act. The full balance was repaid in the second quarter of 2021. In accordance with the related agreement, the facility terminated at the time of payment.
