The Company has a credit facility that currently provides for a $400.0 million Term loan facility and a $1.0 billion Revolving credit facility (the “2020 Credit Agreement”). The 2020 Credit Agreement contains certain customary restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, financial covenants that apply a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest expense coverage ratio.

The Term loan is being repaid in consecutive quarterly installments that commenced on December 31, 2020, plus a final payment to be made on September 28, 2025. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes to repay $100.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility in June 2021. The Revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed through September 28, 2025, at which all then-outstanding amounts must be repaid.

In June 2022, the Company terminated a fixed-for-floating interest rate swap contract with a notional value of $350.0 million, and received proceeds of $0.5 million. The Company had two other fixed-for-floating interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $700.0 million that matured during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Effective June 30, 2020, the Company de-designated all of its interest rate swaps and discontinued hedge accounting. Accordingly, subsequent changes to the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in Other income (expense), net. The amounts previously recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss are amortized into Interest expense over the terms of the hedged forecasted interest payments. As of December 31, 2022, $52.3 million is remaining in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net. The interest rate swaps had unrealized fair values of $10.3 million and negative unrealized fair values (liabilities) of $53.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of which $39.2 million and $56.3 million were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax effect, as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. See Note 14 — Fair Value Disclosures for the determination of the fair values of Company’s interest rate swaps.
