Credit Facility

On December 14, 2018, the Company amended its $1.2 billion unsecured revolving bank credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date from June 22, 2022 to June 22, 2023 and amend pricing terms.

As at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility. Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. As at December 31, 2019, $1.2 billion was available for future drawdown under the Credit Facility (December 31, 2018 - $1.2 billion). During the year ended December 31, 2019, Credit Facility drawdowns totaled $220.0 million and repayments totaled $220.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Credit Facility drawdowns totaled $300.0 million and repayments totaled $300.0 million.

The Credit Facility is available in multiple currencies through prime rate and base rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.20% to 1.75%, through LIBOR advances, bankers’ acceptances and financial letters of credit, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 1.20% to 2.75% and through performance letters of credit, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.80% to 1.83%. The lenders under the Credit Facility are each paid a standby fee at a rate that ranges from 0.24% to 0.55% of the undrawn portion of the facility. In each case, the applicable margin or standby fees vary depending on the Company’s credit rating and the Company’s total net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio.
