Shelf Registration Statement

During 2019, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement that enables us to issue debt securities and pass-through certificates. The registration statement is effective for three years and does not limit the amount of debt securities and pass-through certificates we can issue.

Credit Lines and Facilities

On May 23, 2019, we entered into a new $600 million, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the U.S., expiring in May 2024. The new credit facility contains two 1-year extension options. This replaced our prior $600 million 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which was terminated upon our entry in the new credit facility. As of December 31, 2019, the full $600 million was available under this facility. Additionally, we terminated our prior $250 million 5-year secured railcar facility and entered into a new $250 million 3-year unsecured facility in the U.S. expiring in May 2022. This new credit facility also has two 1-year extension options. As of December 31, 2019, the full $250 million was available under this facility.

In addition, our European subsidiaries have unsecured credit facilities with an aggregate limit of €35.0 million. As of December 31, 2019, €20.9 million was available under these credit facilities.

Annual commitment fees for GATX's credit facilities were $1.6 million for 2019, $2.0 million for 2018, and $2.0 million for 2017.

Restrictive Covenants

Our $600 million revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges, as defined in this facility, was 2.4 for the period ended December 31, 2019, which is in excess of the minimum covenant ratio of 1.2. At December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the facility. Some of our bank term loans have the same financial covenants as the facility.

The indentures for our public debt also contain various restrictive covenants, including limitation on liens provisions that restrict the amount of additional secured indebtedness that we may incur. As of December 31, 2019, this limit was $1,605.0 million. Additionally, certain exceptions to the covenants permit us to incur an unlimited amount of purchase money and nonrecourse indebtedness. At December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the indentures.

At December 31, 2019, our European rail subsidiaries ("GATX Rail Europe" or "GRE") had outstanding term loan balances totaling €280 million. The loans are guaranteed by GATX Corporation and are subject to the same restrictive covenants as the revolving credit facility noted above.

We do not anticipate any covenant violations nor do we expect that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing. At December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of all of our credit agreements.
