In December 2011, the Company and OG&E entered into unsecured five-year revolving credit agreements to total in the aggregate $1,150.0 million ($750.0 million for the Company and $400.0 million for OG&E). Each of the credit facilities contained an option, which could be exercised up to two times, to extend the term for an additional year. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company and OG&E utilized one of these one-year extensions, and received consent from all of the lenders, to extend the maturity of their credit agreements from December 13, 2016 to December 13, 2017. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company and OG&E utilized their second extension to extend the maturity of their respective credit facility from December 13, 2017 to December 13, 2018. As of December 31, 2015, commitments of approximately $16.3 million and $8.7 million of the Company's and OG&E's credit facilities, respectively, however, were not extended and, unless the non-extending lender is replaced in accordance with the terms of the credit facility, such commitments will expire December 13, 2017.
