The Credit Facilities
The Company's Credit Facilities consist of a $750.0 Revolving Credit Facility with a $80.0 letter of credit sublimit, due 2027, and a $2,860.0 Term Loan Facility due 2026.
Revolving Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding balance on its Revolving Credit Facility. The facility provides for revolving loans, same-day borrowings and letters of credit pursuant to commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 with a letter of credit sublimit of $80.0. Proceeds of loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed prior to the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility. Our ability to draw under the Revolving Credit Facility or issue letters of credit thereunder is conditioned upon, among other things, delivery of required notices, accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the absence of any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2023, letters of credit totaling $9.5 were collateralized by the Revolving Credit Facility, and, notwithstanding the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company had unsecured corporate guarantees outstanding of $12.5 and cash collateralized letters of credit of $4.2, which were not collateralized by the Revolving Credit Facility.
Term Loan Facility (2026)
The Company has a Term Loan Facility of $2,860.0 due 2026, which was fully drawn at closing. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company made a $300.0 prepayment on its Term Loan Facility and made another prepayment of $125.0 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Prior to the initial prepayment, the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility was repaid by the Company on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate original par principal amount of the initial term loans.
The carrying value of the Company’s variable interest rate debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate benchmark rates. The fair value of the fixed rate debt is estimated based on market observable data for debt with similar prepayment features. The fair value of the Company’s debt was $4,674.0 and $4,709.6 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is considered Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.
