Data as of March 31, 2020.

The fair value of total debt outstanding was $6,458.9 million and $6,747.8 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was measured using Level 2 inputs.

As of March 31, 2020, the maximum borrowing levels for the ABS warehouse and the revolving credit facility are $800.0 million and $1,560.0 million, respectively. These facilities are governed by borrowing bases that limit borrowing capacity to an established percentage of relevant assets. As of March 31, 2020, the availability under these credit facilities without adding additional container assets to the borrowing base was approximately $515.8 million.

The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt agreements. The agreements remain the obligations of the respective subsidiaries, and all related debt covenants are calculated at the subsidiary level. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in accordance with the terms of its debt agreements.

The Company hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding fixed-rate and floating-rate debt as of March 31, 2020 (in thousands):

To provide additional liquidity and enhance its financial flexibility in response to recent global economic uncertainty and financial market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company drew down $350.0 million from a revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure in March 2020.

Institutional Notes

In accordance with the institutional note agreements, interest payments on the Company's institutional notes are due semi-annually. Institutional note maturities typically range from 7 - 12 years, with level principal payments due annually following an interest-only period. The Company's institutional notes are pre-payable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time, subject to certain provisions in the note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment.

Asset-Backed Securitization Term Notes

Under the Company's Asset-backed Securitization ("ABS") facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue asset-backed notes. These subsidiaries are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three to nine months of interest expense depending on the terms of each facility.

Term Loan Facilities

The term loan facilities amortize in monthly or quarterly installments. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment.

Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse

Under the Company’s asset-backed warehouse facility, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue asset-backed notes. These subsidiaries are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company
or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company's asset-backed warehouse facility has a borrowing capacity of $800.0 million that is available on a revolving basis until December 13, 2021, paying interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, after which any borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of December 15, 2025, paying interest at LIBOR plus 2.85%.

During the revolving period, the borrowing capacity under this facility is determined by applying an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment are determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense.

Revolving Credit Facilities

The revolving credit facilities have a maximum borrowing capacity of $1,560.0 million. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment.

Finance Lease Obligations

The Company has one finance lease contract with a financial institution for some of our containers. Each lease is accounted for as a finance lease, with interest expense recognized on a level yield basis over the period preceding early purchase options, if any, which is five to seven years from the transaction date.
