The December 2016 Credit Facilities provide for a revolving credit facility that may be established thereunder in the future.
In April 2020, we borrowed an aggregate of $2.7 billion under our revolving credit facilities. See Note 14 for further information related to this subsequent event.
Secured financings are collateralized by assets, primarily aircraft, engines, simulators, aircraft spare parts, airport gate leasehold rights, route authorities, airport slots and certain pre-delivery payments.
2020 Financing Activities
2014 Credit Facilities
In January 2020, American and AAG entered into the Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, amending the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 20, 2015 (as previously amended, the 2014 Credit Agreement; the revolving credit facility established thereunder, the 2014 Revolving Facility; the term loan facility established thereunder, the 2014 Term Loan Facility; and collectively, the 2014 Credit Facilities), pursuant to which American refinanced the 2014 Term Loan Facility, increasing the total aggregate principal amount outstanding to $1.22 billion, reducing the LIBOR margin from 2.00% to 1.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 0%, and reducing the base rate margin from 1.00% to 0.75%. In addition, the maturity date for the 2014 Term Loan Facility was extended to January 2027 from October 2021. The 2014 Revolving Facility remains unchanged and, as of March 31, 2020, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding thereunder.
3.75% Senior Notes
In February 2020, AAG issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due 2025 (the 3.75% senior notes). These notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in March and September of each year, beginning in September 2020. The 3.75% senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of AAG and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by American. The 3.75% senior notes mature in March 2025.
Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility
In March 2020, American and AAG entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement which provides for a 364-day $1.0 billion senior secured delayed draw term loan credit facility (the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility), which will be due and payable in a single installment on the maturity date in March 2021. Borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility bear interest at an index rate plus an applicable index margin or, at American's option, LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus an applicable LIBOR margin for interest periods of one, three or six months (or, if available to all affected lenders, 12 months or a shorter period). Voluntary prepayments at par may be made by American at any time. As of March 31, 2020, $1.0 billion in borrowings were outstanding under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility. The proceeds of the term loans under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility are being used for general corporate purposes.
Subject to certain limitations and exceptions, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility is secured by collateral, including certain slots, foreign gate leaseholds and route authorities (collectively, SGR) utilized by American in providing its scheduled air carrier services to and from Mexico and Central America and to London and certain cities in the European Union. The lien on Mexico and Central America SGR is a first-priority lien and the lien on London and European SGR is a second-priority lien. American has the ability to make future modifications to the collateral pledged, subject to certain restrictions. American's obligations under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility are guaranteed by AAG. American is required to maintain a certain minimum ratio of appraised value of collateral to the outstanding term loans.
The Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility contains events of default customary for similar financings, including cross default to other material indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Facility also includes covenants that, among other things, require AAG to maintain a minimum aggregate liquidity of not less than $2.0 billion and limit the ability of AAG and its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends and make certain other payments, make certain investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens on the collateral, dispose of the collateral, enter into certain affiliate transactions and engage in certain business activities, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
Equipment Notes and Other Notes Payable Issued in 2020
In the three months ended March 31, 2020, American entered into agreements under which it borrowed $197 million in connection with the financing or refinancing, as the case may be, of certain aircraft, of which $17 million was used to repay existing indebtedness. Debt incurred under these agreements matures in 2029 through 2032 and bears interest at variable rates (comprised of LIBOR plus an applicable margin) averaging 2.99% at March 31, 2020.
