Credit facilities

On March 31, 2020, CyrusOne LP, a Maryland limited partnership and subsidiary of CyrusOne Inc., entered into an amendment to its credit agreement, dated as of March 29, 2018 (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), among the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders. Proceeds from the Amended Credit Agreement were used, among other things, to refinance and replace the credit facilities under the $3.0 Billion Credit Facility (as defined below).
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $1.4 billion senior unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) senior unsecured term loans due 2023 in a dollar equivalent principal amount of $400.0 million (the “2023 Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) senior unsecured term loans due 2025 in a principal amount of $700.0 million (the “2025 Term Loan Facility”). The Amended Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature pursuant to which the Operating Partnership is permitted to obtain additional revolving or term loan commitments so long as the aggregate principal amount of commitments and/or term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement does not exceed $4.0 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Japanese Yen, Hong Kong Dollars, Singapore Dollars and Swiss Francs (subject to a sublimit of $750.0 million on borrowings in currencies other than U.S. Dollars). The Revolving Credit Facility matures on March 29, 2024 with one 12-month extension option. The 2023 Term Loan Facility matures on March 29, 2023 with two 1-year extension options, and the 2025 Term Loan Facility matures on March 28, 2025.
The interest rates for borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are, at the option of the borrower, based on a floating rate or base rate, plus a margin determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the lower of (i) the rate corresponding to the then applicable credit rating for the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured debt or (ii) the rate corresponding to the then applicable ratio of the Company’s consolidated total indebtedness to its gross asset value. The Amended Credit Agreement includes certain restricted covenants, requirements to maintain certain financial ratios, including with respect to unencumbered assets, and events of default.
On March 31, 2020, borrowings of $1.3 billion under the Amended Credit Agreement were used to repay the $3.0 Billion Credit Facility, which consisted of a $1.7 billion revolving credit facility ("$1.7 Billion Revolving Credit Facility"), which included a $750.0 million multicurrency borrowing sublimit, a 5-year term loan with commitments totaling $1.0 billion and a $300.0 million 7-year term loan (collectively, the "$3.0 Billion Credit Facility"). The aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2020, was $1.3 billion, and the Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.4 million in connection with the repayment of the $3.0 Billion Credit Facility.
It is not known whether LIBOR will continue after 2021 in a legally workable form. There is a risk that an adverse outcome of the LIBOR transition after 2021 could increase our interest and other costs relative to our outstanding subordinated debt. We may not be able to refinance those instruments on terms that reduce those costs to the level we would have expected if LIBOR were to continue indefinitely, unchanged. Also, a transition from LIBOR could impact or change our hedge accounting practices.
Prior to obtaining an investment grade rating in September 2019 and shifting to a ratings-based pricing grid under the $1.7 Billion Revolving Credit Facility, we paid commitment fees for the unused amount of borrowings on the $1.7 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and fees on any outstanding letters of credit equal to 0.25% per annum of the actual daily amount by which the aggregate revolving commitments exceeded the sum of outstanding revolving loans and letter of credit obligations. Following the shift to a ratings-based pricing grid, we pay a facility fee calculated based on the aggregate revolving commitments. The facility fee rate varies based on ratings-based pricing levels, and is currently equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate revolving commitments. The facility fee or commitment fee, as applicable, was $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
As of March 31, 2020, we had $400.0 million, $700.0 million and $234.0 million outstanding under the 2023 Term Loan Facility, the 2025 Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, and additional borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement was approximately $1.2 billion ($1.2 billion under the Revolving Credit Facility and zero under the 2023 Term Loan Facility and 2025 Term Loan Facility), net of $10.6 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Senior notes
Euro bonds
On January 22, 2020, the Operating Partnership and CyrusOne Finance Corp., a single-purpose finance subsidiary, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (together, the "Issuers"), completed a public offering of €500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.450% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). The Company received proceeds of €495.3 million, net of underwriting costs and other deferred financing costs. The Company used the proceeds to repay floating rate Euro denominated obligations and fund continued development in Europe.
The 2027 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers guaranteed by CyrusOne Inc., which rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of the Issuers. The 2027 Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any future secured indebtedness, if any, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2027 Notes may be redeemed at our option prior to their scheduled maturity dates at the prices and premiums and on the terms set forth in the respective indentures governing the notes.
US bonds

On December 5, 2019, the Issuers completed a public offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.900% senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.450% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The Company received proceeds of $1,197.4 million, net of underwriting costs and other deferred financing costs. The Company used the proceeds to finance the repurchase of all of its 5.000% senior notes due 2024 (the “Old 2024 Notes”) and all of its 5.375% senior notes due 2027 (the “Old 2027 Notes” and together with the Old 2024 Notes, the "Existing Notes"), including the payment of consent payments, for the redemption and discharge of Existing Notes that remained outstanding after the completion of the tender offers and consent solicitations, for the payment of related premiums, fees, discounts and expenses and for general corporate purposes. In connection with the repurchase of the Existing Notes, the Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $71.8 million.
The 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers guaranteed by CyrusOne Inc., which rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of the Issuers. The 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any future secured indebtedness of the Issuers, if any, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes may be redeemed at our option prior to their scheduled maturity dates at the prices and premiums and on the terms set forth in the respective indentures governing the notes.
Financial debt covenants
Our debt agreements contain customary provisions with respect to events of default, affirmative and negative covenants and borrowing conditions. The most restrictive covenants are generally included in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain financial covenants including the following, in each case on a consolidated basis, a minimum fixed charge ratio, maximum total and secured leverage ratios, maximum net operating income to debt service ratio and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. In order to continue to have access to amounts available under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company must remain in compliance with all of that agreement's covenants. As of March 31, 2020, we are in compliance with all provisions of our debt agreements.
