Credit Agreement
On September 7, 2017, Delphi Technologies and its wholly-owned subsidiary Delphi Powertrain Corporation entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), with respect to $1.25 billion in senior secured credit facilities. The Credit Agreement consists of a senior secured five-year $750 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and a $500 million five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. We incurred $9 million of issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2019, there were no amounts drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Credit Facilities are subject to an interest rate, at our option, of either (a) the Administrative Agent’s Alternate Base Rate (“ABR” as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate (the “Adjusted LIBOR Rate” as defined in the Credit Agreement) (“LIBOR”), in each case, plus an applicable margin that is based on our corporate credit ratings, as more particularly described below (the “Applicable Rate”). In addition, the Credit Agreement requires payment of additional interest on certain overdue obligations on terms and conditions customary for financings of this type. The interest rate period with respect to LIBOR interest rate options can be set at one-, two-, three-, or six-months as selected by us in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (or other period as may be agreed by the applicable lenders), but payable no less than quarterly. We may elect to change the selected interest rate over the term of the Credit Facilities in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Applicable Rates charged to the Company on the specified date are set forth below:

The applicable interest rate margins for the Term Loan A Facility will increase or decrease from time to time between 1.50% and 2.00% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and between 0.50% and 1.00% per annum (for ABR loans), in each case based upon changes to our corporate credit ratings. The applicable interest rate margins for the Revolving Credit Facility will increase or decrease from time to time between 1.30% and 1.55% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and between 0.30% and 0.55% per annum
(for ABR loans), in each case based upon changes to our corporate credit ratings. Accordingly, the Applicable Rates for the Credit Facilities will fluctuate during the term of the Credit Agreement based on changes in the ABR, LIBOR or future changes in our corporate credit ratings. The Credit Agreement also requires that we pay certain facility fees on the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and certain letter of credit issuance and fronting fees. Amounts outstanding and the rate effective as of December 31, 2019, are detailed below:

In December 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, with a combined notional amount of $400 million where the variable rates under the Term Loan A Facility have been exchanged for a fixed rate. These interest rate swap agreements mature in September 2022 and convert the nature of $400 million of the loan from LIBOR floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. In addition to these agreements, in December 2018 and March 2019, as a means of managing foreign currency risk related to our significant operations in Europe, the Company executed fixed-for-fixed cross currency swaps, in which the Company will pay Euros and receive U.S. dollars with a combined notional amount of $600 million. These agreements are designated as net investment hedges and have a maturity date of September 2022. See Note 19. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for additional information on our interest rate swaps.
Letters of credit are available for issuance under the Credit Agreement on terms and conditions customary for financings of this type, which issuances reduce availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. No such letters of credit were outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
We are obligated to make quarterly principal payments throughout the term of the Term Loan A Facility according to the amortization provisions in the Credit Agreement, as such payments may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as a result of the application of loan prepayments made by us, if any, prior to the scheduled date of payment thereof.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are prepayable at our option without premium or penalty. We may request that all or a portion of the Credit Facilities be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Credit Facilities under certain conditions customary for financings of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions in the event that we receive net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course asset sales, casualty events and debt offerings, in each case subject to terms and conditions customary for financings of this type.
The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type that, among other things, limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to dispose of assets, to make certain fundamental changes, to designate subsidiaries as unrestricted, to make certain investments, to prepay certain indebtedness and to pay dividends, or to make other distributions or redemptions/repurchases, with respect to our and our subsidiaries’ equity interests. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that we maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio (the ratio Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement also contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including certain customary change of control events. The Company was in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants as of December 31, 2019. The Credit Agreement was amended on February 10, 2020. Pursuant to the amendment, for any fiscal quarter ending on or prior to September 30, 2019 or after December 31, 2020, the Company must maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 and for any fiscal quarter ending on or after December 31, 2019 and on or prior to December 31, 2020 a consolidated net leverage ratio of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0.
The borrowers under the Credit Agreement comprise Delphi Technologies and its wholly-owned Delaware-organized subsidiary, Delphi Powertrain Corporation. Additional subsidiaries of Delphi Technologies may be added as co-borrowers or guarantors under the Credit Agreement from time to time on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The obligations of each borrower under the Credit Agreement will be jointly and severally guaranteed by each other borrower and by certain of our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions customary for financings of this type. All obligations of the borrowers and the guarantors are secured by certain assets of such borrowers and guarantors, including a perfected first-priority pledge of all of the capital stock in Delphi Powertrain Corporation.
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains provisions pursuant to which, based upon our achievement of certain corporate credit ratings, certain covenants and/or our obligation to provide collateral to secure the Credit Facilities, will be suspended.
Senior Notes
On September 28, 2017, Delphi Technologies PLC issued $800 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2025 in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were priced at 99.5% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 5.077%. Approximately $14 million of issuance costs were incurred in connection with the Senior Notes offering. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year to holders of record at the close of business on March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date. The proceeds received from the Senior Notes offering were deposited into escrow and subsequently released to Delphi Technologies upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including completion of the Separation, in December 2017. From the date of the satisfaction of the escrow conditions, the notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by each of our current and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities, as described above. The proceeds from the Senior Notes, together with the proceeds from the borrowings under the Credit Agreement, were used to fund a dividend to the Former Parent, fund operating cash and pay taxes and related fees and expenses.
The Senior Notes indenture contains certain restrictive covenants, including with respect to Delphi Technologies’ (and subsidiaries) ability to incur liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and merge with or into other entities. The Company was in compliance with the Senior Notes covenants as of December 31, 2019.
Other Financing
Receivable factoring—During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a €225 million accounts receivable factoring facility for certain subsidiaries in Europe, of which €214 million is available on a committed basis. The facility is accounted for as short-term debt and borrowings are subject to the availability of eligible accounts receivable. Collateral is not required related to these trade accounts receivable. This program matures on November 28, 2022 and will automatically renew on a non-committed, indefinite basis unless terminated by either party. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin for borrowings denominated in British pounds and Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus a margin for borrowings denominated in Euros. The applicable margin will increase or decrease from time to time between 0.45% and 0.85% based on changes to our corporate credit ratings. No amounts were outstanding on the European accounts receivable factoring facility as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
The Company has entered into arrangements with various financial institutions to sell eligible trade receivables from certain Aftermarket customers in North America and Europe. These arrangements can be terminated at any time subject to prior written notice. The receivables under these arrangements are sold without recourse to the Company and are therefore accounted for as true sales. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, $150 million and $112 million of receivables were sold under these arrangements, and expenses of $4 million and $5 million, respectively, were recognized within interest expense.
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries factored, without recourse, approximately $41 million and $25 million of receivables related to certain foreign research credits to a financial institution, respectively. These transactions were accounted for as true sales of the receivables, and as a result the Company derecognized these amounts from other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, less than $1 million of expenses were recognized within interest expense related to this transaction.
Finance leases—There were approximately $14 million and $14 million finance lease obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Interest—Cash paid for interest related to debt outstanding, including the effect of interest rate and cross currency swaps, totaled $66 million, $75 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
