2029 Senior Notes
The 2029 Senior Notes are the senior secured obligations of the Company. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2029 Senior Notes at its option, in whole or part, at the dates and amounts set forth in the applicable indenture.
The applicable indenture for the 2029 Senior Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability and, in certain circumstances, the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to (i) borrow money, (ii) create liens on assets, (iii) pay dividends or make other distributions on or repurchase or redeem the Company's capital stock, (iv) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt, (v) make loans and investments, (vi) sell assets, (vii) incur liens, (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates, (ix) enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends and (x) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets.
Revolving Facility
The proceeds of any borrowings made under the Revolving Facility can be used to finance working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes. The obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets pursuant to a guarantee and collateral agreement.
As of December 31, 2022, the Revolving Facility had an outstanding balance of $35.0 million, leaving $315.0 million available. Additionally, the Company has certain letters of credit totaling $22.9 million, which do not reduce the Revolving Facility's available balance. Commitment fees are based on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility at a rate of 0.20 percent.
As of December 31, 2022, loans under the Revolving Facility bore interest at a variable per annum rate based upon, at SunCoke's option, either an adjusted base rate ("ABR") or an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), in each case plus an applicable margin. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, we amended the Revolving Facility to transition from a variable interest rate based on LIBOR to a variable interest rate based on the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"). After giving effect to that amendment, loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at SunCoke's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) an adjusted term SOFR rate (defined as SOFR for a specified term plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points, subject to a zero percent floor) plus 1.75 percent or (ii) an ABR plus 0.75 percent. The applicable margin is subject to change based on SunCoke's consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. The weighted-average interest rate for borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility was 3.3 percent during 2022.
The Company does not expect the transition from LIBOR to SOFR to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Financing Obligation
The Company has a sale-leaseback arrangement related to certain coke and logistics equipment. The arrangement has an initial period of 48 months beginning December 2020, and an early buyout option after 36 months to purchase the equipment at a fixed rate. The arrangement is accounted for as a financing transaction, resulting in a financing obligation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Covenants
Under the terms of the Revolving Facility, the Company is subject to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00 and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00. The Company's debt agreements contains other covenants and events of default that are customary for similar agreements and may limit our ability to take various actions including our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our stock.
If we fail to perform our obligations under these and other covenants, the lenders' credit commitment could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, under the Revolving Facility could be declared immediately due and payable. The Company has a cross default provision that applies to our indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $35 million.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. We do not anticipate violation of these covenants nor do we anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.
Maturities
As of December 31, 2022, the combined aggregate amount of maturities for long-term borrowings for each of the next five years is as follows:
