During the second quarter, we expect to recognize a pre-tax gain from debt extinguishment of approximately $245.0 million related to the Tender Offers, net of discounts, premiums, debt issuance costs and transaction costs.

After giving effect to the Tender Offers, our next debt maturity is $454.3 million during 2019, followed by $759.9 million, $857.5 million, $623.3 million and $669.3 million during 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Revolving Credit

We have a $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks to be used for general corporate purposes with a term expiring on September 30, 2019 (the "Credit Facility"). Advances under the Credit Facility bear interest at Base Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate, depending on our credit ratings. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the $2.25 billion commitment, which is also based on our credit ratings.

In February 2016, Moody’s announced a downgrade of our credit rating to B1, which is below investment grade. This downgrade has resulted in an increase in our applicable margin rate by 0.25% per annum and our quarterly commitment fee by 0.075% per annum under our Credit Facility.  Following the February 2016 downgrade, the applicable margin rates are 0.50% per annum for Base Rate advances and 1.50% per annum for LIBOR advances. Also, our quarterly commitment fee is 0.225% per annum on the undrawn portion of the $2.25 billion commitment.  Any further downgrades will not impact our applicable margin rate on borrowings or our quarterly commitment fee. We have limited or no access to the commercial paper market as a result of our recent downgrade.

Our access to credit and capital markets depends on the credit ratings assigned to our debt by independent credit rating agencies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under review for a downgrade, could limit our available options when accessing credit and capital markets, or when restructuring or refinancing our debt. In addition, future financings or refinancings may result in higher borrowing costs and require more restrictive terms and covenants.


The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio that is less than or equal to 60%. The Credit Facility also contains customary restrictive covenants, including, among others, prohibitions on creating, incurring or assuming certain debt and liens; entering into certain merger arrangements; selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets; making a material change in the nature of the business; and entering into certain transactions with affiliates. We have the right, subject to receipt of commitments from new or existing lenders, to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility to an aggregate amount of up to $2.75 billion and to extend the term of the Credit Facility by one year on up to two occasions.

As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance in all material respects with our covenants under the Credit Facility. We had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
