On September 18, 2015, Molson Coors International, LP, a Delaware partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of MCBC, issued CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due September 18, 2020 ("CAD 500 million notes"), and CAD 400 million 2.25% notes due September 18, 2018 ("CAD 400 million notes", and together with the CAD 500 million notes, the "2015 Notes"). Our previously issued CAD 900 million 5.0% notes matured on September 22, 2015, and were repaid using the proceeds from the new offerings. Prior to issuing the 2015 Notes, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest rate volatility on CAD 600 million of the 2015 Notes beginning in the second quarter of 2014. At the time of the issuance of the 2015 Notes, the government of Canada bond rates were trading at a yield lower than that locked in by the interest rate swaps, resulting in an aggregate realized loss of CAD 39.2 million ($29.5 million at settlement), which was recorded in other comprehensive income. A portion of this loss is being amortized into interest expense over the 5-year and 3-year lives of the respective 2015 Notes and will increase our effective cost of borrowing compared to the stated coupon rates by 0.65% on the CAD 500 million notes and 0.16% on the CAD 400 million notes. The remaining portion of the loss will be amortized on future debt issuances covering the full 10-year term of the interest rate swap agreements. The cash payment associated with the settlement of the forward starting interest rate swap agreements was recorded as an operating outflow within the other assets and liabilities line item on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details on the forward starting interest rate swaps.

In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert our fixed rate $300 million 2.0% notes due 2017 ("$300 million notes") to floating rate debt consistent with the interest rate swaps on our $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 ("$500 million notes") entered into during 2014. As a result of these hedge programs, the carrying value of the $300 million and $500 million notes include adjustments of $1.3 million and $23.4 million, respectively, for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate. The carrying value of the $500 million note included an adjustment of $10.8 million for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate as of December 31, 2014.
In the first quarter of 2015, we also entered into a cross currency swap with a total notional of Euro ("EUR") 265 million ($300 million upon execution) in order to hedge a portion of the foreign currency translational impacts of our European investment. As a result of this cross currency swap and the above mentioned interest rate swaps, we have economically converted the $300 million notes and associated interest to a floating rate EUR denomination. The effective interest rate for the $300 million notes, adjusted for these swaps, was (0.33)% and 0.98%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The interest rate swaps on our $500 million notes resulted in an effective interest rate of 1.41% and 1.38% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 1.41% and 2.74% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.

As of September 30, 2015, the weighted-average effective interest rate and tenor for the outstanding commercial paper borrowings was 0.45% and 17.1 days, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, we have $740.0 million available to draw on under our $750 million revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program, and we have no other borrowings drawn on this revolving credit facility.
(5)
As of September 30, 2015, we had $9.4 million in bank overdrafts and $63.3 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $53.9 million. As of December 31, 2014, we had $64.6 million in bank overdrafts and $80.0 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $15.4 million.

In addition to our JPY line of credit, we have a EUR revolving credit facility and GBP and CAD overdraft facilities which we had no borrowings under as of September 30, 2015, or December 31, 2014.
Debt Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. As of September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including current portion) was $2,873.8 million and $3,240.6 million, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of all other outstanding long-term borrowings and our short-term borrowings approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2.
Other
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include restrictions on priority indebtedness (certain threshold percentages of secured consolidated net tangible assets), leverage thresholds, liens, and restrictions on certain types of sale lease-back transactions and transfers of assets. As of September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations.
