Effective with the sale of our 16.0 million partnership units to CyrusOne, Inc. on June 25, 2014 for $355.9 million, the amount available under the Corporate Credit Agreement was reduced to $150.0 million from its original capacity of $200.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its Corporate Credit Agreement, leaving $150.0 million available. This revolving credit facility expires in July 2017.

On September 10, 2013, the Company amended and restated its Corporate Credit Agreement, originally dated as of November 20, 2012, to include a $540 million Tranche B Term Loan facility ("Tranche B Term Loan") that matures on September 10, 2020. The Tranche B Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of 0.25% of the original principal amount.
On June 2, 2014, the Company executed an amendment of its accounts receivable securitization facility (“Receivables Facility”), which replaced, amended, and added certain provisions and definitions to increase the credit availability and also extended the term to June 1, 2015. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $112.4 million of borrowings and $5.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Receivables Facility, leaving $2.4 million of remaining availability on the total borrowing capacity of $120.0 million. The Receivables Facility is subject to renewal every 364 days and expires in June 2016. In the event the Receivables Facility is not renewed, the Company has the ability to refinance any outstanding borrowings with borrowings under the Corporate Credit Agreement. The permitted borrowings vary depending on the level of eligible receivables and other factors. Under the Receivables Facility, certain subsidiaries, or originators, sell their respective trade receivables on a continuous basis to Cincinnati Bell Funding LLC (“CBF”). Although CBF is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, CBF is legally separate from the Company and each of the Company’s other subsidiaries. Upon and after the sale or contribution of the accounts receivable to CBF, such accounts receivable are legally assets of CBF and, as such, are not available to creditors of other subsidiaries or the Company.

On August 8, 2014, the Company redeemed $325.0 million of the outstanding 8 ¾% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 at a redemption price of 104.375%. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $19.4 million. On October 1, 2014, the Company redeemed $22.7 million of the outstanding 8 3/8% Senior Notes due 2020 at par.

Effective November 6, 2014, Cincinnati Bell Inc. amended its Corporate Credit Agreement to, among other things, modify certain financial covenants governing leverage ratios and capital expenditures.
