Amortization relating to these fees of $0.1 million and $0.3 million was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated income statements for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017, respectively ($0.1 million and $0.3 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, respectively). As of October 28, 2017, January 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, the Company had stand-by letters of credit outstanding of $15.7 million, $15.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively, that reduce remaining borrowing availability. The revolving credit facility had a weighted average interest rate of 2.45% and 1.68% during the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively. Capitalized fees associated with the term loan facility as of October 28, 2017 total $6.2 million with the unamortized balance recorded as a direct deduction from the outstanding liability within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accumulated amortization related to these capitalized fees as of October 28, 2017 was $3.3 million (January 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016: $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively).

Senior unsecured notes due 2024 Signet UK Finance plc (“Signet UK Finance”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.700% senior unsecured notes due in 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an effective registration statement previously filed with the SEC. The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed, on a full and unconditional basis, by the Company and by certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Guarantors”). See Note 23 for additional information. Capitalized fees relating to the senior unsecured notes total $7.0 million.

As a condition of closing the credit transaction disclosed in Note 3, during the third quarter of Fiscal 2018, the Company terminated the asset-backed securitization facility, which had a principal balance outstanding of $600.0 million, in order to transfer the receivables free and clear. Unamortized capitalized fees of $0.2 million associated with the asset-backed securitization facility were written-off during the third quarter of Fiscal 2018. Capitalized fees previously totaled $3.4 million, offset by accumulated amortization of $3.4 million as of October 28, 2017 (January 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016: $3.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively).
