Fair values of Senior Notes are based on recent bid prices in an active market, therefore classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 3).

 

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper

 

The Company has a $1,500.0 unsecured credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of July 2018 and the ability to borrow at a spread over LIBOR. The Company also has a $200.0 unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) which is renewable annually. The average interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was nil and 1.50%, respectively, and on the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was nil and 1.16%, respectively. The carrying value of the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility approximated their fair value due primarily to their market interest rates and the carrying value of the Credit Agreement borrowings approximated their fair value due to their relative short-term maturity and market interest rate and are therefore both classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 3).

 

In September 2014, the Company entered into a commercial paper program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company issues short-term unsecured commercial paper notes (“Commercial Paper”) in one or more private placements. Amounts available under the Program are borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The maturities of the Commercial Paper vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The Commercial Paper is sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par, or, alternatively, may be sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. The Program was rated A-2 by Standard & Poor’s and P-2 by Moody’s and is backstopped by the Revolving Credit Facility. The maximum aggregate principal amount of the commercial paper notes outstanding under the Program at any time is $1,500.0. The Commercial Paper is classified as long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets since the Company has the intent and ability to refinance the Commercial Paper on a long-term basis using the Revolving Credit Facility. The carrying value of Commercial Paper borrowings approximated their fair value given that the Commercial Paper is actively traded. As such, the Commercial Paper is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 3). The average interest rate on the Commercial Paper as of December 31, 2014 was 0.38%.

 

The Company incurred costs related to the issuance of the Commercial Paper and Senior Notes of $11.1, which are capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the debt.

 

Senior Notes

 

The senior notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. Interest on each series of the Senior Notes is payable semiannually. The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of any series Senior Notes at any time by paying 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, and if redeemed prior to the date of maturity, a make-whole premium.

 

In January 2014, the Company issued $750.0 principal amount of unsecured 2.55% Senior Notes due January 2019 (the “2.55% Senior Notes”) at 99.846% of their face value. Net proceeds from the sale of the 2.55% Senior Notes were used to repay borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.

 

In September 2014, the Company issued $375.0 principal amount of unsecured 1.55% Senior Notes due September 2017 at 99.898% of their face value (the “1.55% Senior Notes”) and $375.0 principal amount of unsecured 3.125% Senior Notes due September 2021 at 99.912% of their face value (the “3.125% Senior Notes” and together with the 1.55% Senior Notes, “the Notes”). The Company used all of the net proceeds from the Notes to repay the outstanding $600.0 4.75% Senior Notes that were due in November 2014 and to repay amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility and Credit Agreement.

 

The maturity of the Company’s debt over each of the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter, is as follows:
