[1] Represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at June 30, 2013 for all borrowings outstanding pursuant to each debt instrument including any applicable margin. The interest rates presented represent stated rates and do not include the impact of our interest rate derivative contracts, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts or commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. Including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums and discounts and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs, our weighted average interest rate on our aggregate variable- and fixed-rate indebtedness was approximately 6.8% at June 30, 2013. For information concerning our derivative instruments, see note 4.
[2] In May 2013, we obtained a waiver for a technical default under the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility. The default was identified in connection with our review of the financial statements of OneLink for periods prior to our November 8, 2012 acquisition of OneLink. As a result of this review and a review of the related compliance certificates furnished to lenders, we concluded during the second quarter of 2013 that materially misstated financial information had been provided to lenders for the 2012 reporting periods prior to and including September 30, 2012. The furnishing of this materially misstated financial information to lenders constituted a technical default under the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility, but did not create a cross default in any of our other debt agreements.
[3] The $2,716.8 million fair value of the VM Convertible Notes (as defined and described below) on the date of the Virgin Media Acquisition includes $1,056.8 million that we allocated to a debt component and $1,660.0 million that we allocated to an equity component. See the related discussion below for additional information. The amount reported in the estimated fair value column for the VM Convertible Notes represents the estimated fair value of the remaining VM Convertible Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2013, including both the debt and equity components.
[4] Represents amounts owed pursuant to interest-bearing vendor financing arrangements that are generally due within one year. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amounts owed pursuant to these arrangements include $29.5 million and $29.1 million, respectively, of value-added taxes that were paid on our behalf by the vendor. Repayments of vendor financing obligations are included in repayments and repurchases of debt and capital lease obligations in our condensed consolidated cash flow statements.
[5] Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at June 30, 2013 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. At June 30, 2013, the full amount of unused borrowing capacity was available to be borrowed under each of the respective subsidiary facilities based on the applicable leverage and other financial covenants, except as noted below. At June 30, 2013, our availability under the UPC Broadband Holding Bank Facility (as defined and described below) and the CLP 60.0 billion ($118.1 million) term loan bank facility of VTR Wireless (the VTR Wireless Bank Facility) was limited to €508.7 million ($661.6 million) and CLP 1.9 billion ($3.7 million), respectively, and our availability under the bank credit facility of Liberty Puerto Rico (the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility) was effectively limited to the amounts drawn at June 30, 2013. When the relevant June 30, 2013 compliance reporting requirements have been completed and assuming no changes from June 30, 2013 borrowing levels, we anticipate that our availability under the UPC Broadband Holding Bank Facility, the VM Credit Facility (as defined and described below), Unitymedia KabelBW’s revolving credit facilities and the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility will be limited to €365.2 million ($475.0 million), £501.4 million ($761.3 million), €80.0 million ($104.0 million) and $14.7 million, respectively. In addition to the limitations noted above, the debt instruments of our subsidiaries contain restricted payment tests that limit the amount that can be loaned or distributed to other Liberty Global subsidiaries and ultimately to Liberty Global. At June 30, 2013, these restrictions did not impact our ability to access the borrowing availability of our subsidiaries to satisfy our corporate liquidity needs beyond what is described above, except that none of the availability under the VM Credit Facility, Unitymedia KabelBW’s revolving credit facilities or the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility was available on such date to be loaned or distributed to other Liberty Global subsidiaries and ultimately to Liberty Global.
