Revolving Credit Facility

Capital Stock, Long-Term Debt, and Other Securities [Abstract]

Long Term Debt, Title [Text Block]

On September 19, 2013, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility with various lenders. Truist Bank serves as administrative agent and Bank of America, N.A. serves as syndication agent under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The aggregate committed borrowing amount under the Revolving Credit Facility is $1,695.00 million. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows us, under certain circumstances, to increase the borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility to up to $2,542.50 million. We amended and restated the Revolving Credit Facility on numerous occasions between October 3, 2014 and October 18, 2023.

Borrowings denominated in USD, including amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, bear interest (at the Company’s election) of either (i) Term SOFR plus a margin of either (x) 2.00%, (y) 1.875% (subject to maintenance of certain long-term corporate debt ratings) or (z) 1.75% (subject to certain gross borrowing base conditions), in each case, plus an additional 0.10% credit adjustment spread or (ii) an alternative base rate, which is the highest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) the rate per annum equal to (x) the greater of (A) Term SOFR for an interest period of one (1) month and (B) zero plus (y) 1.00%, plus a margin of either (x) 1.00%, (y) 0.875% (subject to maintenance of certain long-term corporate debt ratings) or (z) 0.75% (subject to certain gross borrowing base conditions). Borrowings denominated in non-USD bear interest of the applicable term benchmark rate or daily simple SONIA plus a margin of either 2.00%, 1.875% or 1.75% (subject to the conditions applicable to borrowings denominated in USD that bear interest based on the applicable term benchmark rate or daily simple SONIA) plus, in the case of borrowings denominated in Pound Sterling (GBP) only, an additional 0.1193% credit adjustment spread. With respect to borrowings denominated in USD, we may elect either Term SOFR, or an alternative base rate at the time of borrowing, and such borrowings may be converted from one benchmark to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. Interest is payable in arrears on the applicable interest payment date as specified therein. We pay a fee of 0.375% per annum on committed but undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to certain lenders which hold approximately 87% of total lending commitments, will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable, on October 18, 2028. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to remaining lenders will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable, on May 5, 2027.
