At April 2, 2022, the Company’s bank facilities, which are with a syndicate of lenders and support our commercial paper borrowings, were as follows:

	Committed Capacity		Capacity Used		Unused Capacity
Facility expiring March 2023	$	5,250	$	—	$	5,250
Facility expiring March 2025	3,000		—		3,000
Facility expiring March 2027	4,000		—		4,000
Total	$	12,250	$	—	$	12,250

The Company refinanced bank facilities totaling $5.25 billion and $4.0 billion, which would have expired in March 2022 and March 2023, respectively. These facilities were refinanced with a new $5.25 billion facility maturing in March 2023 and a new $4.0 billion facility maturing in March 2027. The facility expiring in March 2025 was amended to, among other things, include benchmarks to replace LIBOR and align the interest rate provisions with the new facilities. These facilities allow for borrowings at SOFR-based rates plus a fixed spread that varies with the Company’s debt ratings assigned by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s ranging from 0.755% to 1.225%. The bank facilities contain only one financial covenant, relating to interest coverage of three times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including both intangible amortization and amortization of our film and television production and programming costs, which the Company met on April 2, 2022 by a significant margin. The bank facilities specifically exclude certain entities, including the Asia Theme Parks, from any representations, covenants or events of default. The Company also has the ability to issue up to $500 million of letters of credit under the facility expiring in March 2027, which if utilized, reduces available borrowings under this facility. As of April 2, 2022, the Company has $1.5 billion of outstanding letters of credit, of which none were issued under this facility.

Cruise Ship Credit Facilities

The Company has credit facilities to finance up to 80% of the contract price of two new cruise ships, which are scheduled to be delivered in 2024 and 2025. Under the facilities, $1.1 billion is available beginning in August 2023 and $1.1 billion is available beginning in August 2024. Each tranche of financing may be utilized within a period of 18 months from the initial availability date. If utilized, the interest rates will be fixed at 3.80% and 3.74%, respectively, and the loan and interest will be payable semi-annually over a 12-year period from the borrowing date. Early repayment is permitted subject to cancellation fees.

The Company did not utilize and terminated a $1.0 billion credit facility for a new cruise ship scheduled to be delivered in 2022.
