Short-Term Borrowings

The Company has access to a $700 million multi-currency revolving credit facility ("2018 Credit Facility") through July 28, 2024. The facility is unsecured and contains certain affirmative and negative covenants relating to the operations and financial condition of the Company. The most restrictive of these covenants pertain to asset dispositions and prescribed ratios of indebtedness to total capital and operating income, plus depreciation and amortization to interest expense. The credit facility serves as a back-stop facility for the Company's commercial paper program.
The Company has a $500 million commercial paper facility. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this commercial paper facility. The average balance outstanding for the commercial paper facility during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2 million.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company took the following actions during the year ended December 31, 2020 to strengthen its liquidity and financial flexibility:

On April 9, 2020, the Company entered into a $310 million 364-day revolving credit facility with a maturity date of April 8, 2021. The 364-day revolving credit facility mirrors the original five-year facility in all major respects and is unsecured. As of December 31, 2020 there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

On April 17, 2020, the Company provided a notice to the administrative agent to draw down the full available amount under the 2018 Credit Facility. The Company had previously not drawn down any sums under this facility. The borrowings incurred interest at the rate of adjusted LIBOR plus 1.25%. The Company subsequently repaid the $700 million revolver borrowing on May 26, 2020.

On May 26, 2020, the Company issued $750 million of senior unsecured notes with a final maturity date of June 1, 2030 at a semi-annual coupon rate of 3.25%. The net proceeds were $748 million, net of discount of $2 million. Issuance fees totaled $6 million. The Company paid $31 million to settle the $150 million notional Treasury Rate Lock ("T-Lock") contract which partially hedged the interest rate risk of the note issuance, see Note 18, Financial Instruments and Derivatives. This cost will be amortized over the ten-year life of the notes. The proceeds were used to repay the $700 million borrowed against the 2018 Credit Facility and the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Various other credit facilities:

On May 5, 2020, the Company entered into a 40 million euro 364-day revolving credit facility with a maturity date of April 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020 there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.
On May 12, 2020 the Company entered into a 30 million euro 364-day revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 6, 2021. As of December 31, 2020 there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.
On June 11, 2020, the Company entered into a 3.3 billion Japanese yen 364-day revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 11, 2021. As of December 31, 2020 there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

These agreements are unsecured and contain certain affirmative and negative covenants relating to the operations and financial condition of the Company.
