WTM Bank Facility
On August 14, 2013, White Mountains entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders administered by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which has a total commitment of $425.0 million and has a maturity date of August 14, 2018 (the “WTM Bank Facility”). The WTM Bank Facility replaced White Mountains’ previous revolving credit facility administered by Bank of America, N.A. which had a total commitment of $375.0 million (the “Previous WTM Bank Facility”). As of September 30, 2013, the WTM Bank Facility was undrawn.
In December 2012, White Mountains borrowed $150.0 million under the Previous WTM Bank Facility. White Mountains repaid $75.0 million in December 2012 and the remaining balance of $75.0 million in January 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, White Mountains also borrowed and repaid a total of $150.0 million under the Previous WTM Bank Facility at a blended interest rate of 2.83%.
The WTM Bank Facility contains various affirmative, negative and financial covenants which White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings, including certain minimum net worth and maximum debt to capitalization standards. Failure to meet one or more of these covenants could result in an event of default, which ultimately could eliminate availability under these facilities and result in acceleration of principal repayment on any amounts outstanding. 

Debt Covenants
 At September 30, 2013, White Mountains was in compliance with all debt covenants.
