Revolving Credit Facility. On February 14, 2013, FCX and PT Freeport Indonesia entered into a new senior unsecured $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, which replaced FCX's existing revolving credit facility (scheduled to mature on March 30, 2016) upon completion of the acquisition of PXP. On May 31, 2013, in connection with the PXP acquisition, FCX satisfied all conditions under its new senior unsecured $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, and Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas, LLC (FM O&G LLC, the successor entity of PXP) joined the revolving credit facility as a borrower. The new revolving credit facility is available until May 31, 2018, in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion, with $500 million available to PT Freeport Indonesia. At September 30, 2013, FCX had no borrowings and $46 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in availability of approximately $3.0 billion, of which $1.5 billion could be used for additional letters of credit. Interest on the new revolving credit facility (currently London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.50 percent or the alternate base rate (ABR) plus 0.50 percent) is determined by reference to FCX's credit rating.

Lines of Credit. During third-quarter 2013, FCX entered into uncommitted lines of credit totaling $450 million with three financial institutions. These unsecured lines allow FCX to borrow at a spread over LIBOR or the respective financial institution's cost of funds with terms and pricing that are more favorable than FCX's revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings drawn on these lines of credit.

Acquisition-Related Debt. In connection with financing FCX's acquisitions of PXP and MMR, FCX used the proceeds from the issuance of $6.5 billion of unsecured senior notes and a $4.0 billion unsecured five-year bank term loan (the Term Loan) to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration for both transactions, to repay certain indebtedness of PXP and for general corporate purposes.

Senior Notes. On March 7, 2013, in connection with the financing of FCX's then-pending acquisitions of PXP and MMR, FCX issued $6.5 billion of unsecured senior notes in four tranches. FCX sold $1.5 billion of 2.375% Senior Notes due March 2018 (5-year notes), $1.0 billion of 3.100% Senior Notes due March 2020 (7-year notes), $2.0 billion of 3.875% Senior Notes due March 2023 (10-year notes) and $2.0 billion of 5.450% Senior Notes due March 2043 (30-year notes) for total net proceeds of $6.4 billion. Interest on these notes is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15, beginning September 15, 2013.

Bank Term Loan. On February 14, 2013, FCX entered into an agreement for a $4.0 billion unsecured Term Loan in connection with the then-pending acquisitions of PXP and MMR. Upon closing the PXP acquisition, FCX borrowed $4.0 billion under the Term Loan, and FM O&G LLC joined the Term Loan as a borrower. The Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments during the second, third and fourth years of the loan in annual amounts equal to 10 percent, 15 percent and 20 percent, respectively, of the original aggregate principal amount, and the remainder will mature five years from the date of the first borrowing on May 31, 2013). At FCX's option, the Term Loan bears interest at either an adjusted LIBOR or an alternate base rate (as defined under the Term Loan agreement) plus a spread determined by reference to FCX's credit ratings (currently LIBOR plus 1.50 percent or ABR plus 0.50 percent).

PXP Debt Assumed. At the close of the acquisition of PXP, FCX assumed long-term debt with a stated value of $9.9 billion, which was increased by $762 million to reflect the acquisition-date fair market value of these obligations. The fair value adjustments will be amortized over the term of the senior notes and recorded as a reduction of interest expense. Following is a brief description of the debt assumed in the PXP acquisition.

PXP's 6⅛% Senior Notes due 2019, 8⅝% Senior Notes due 2019, 7⅝% Senior Notes due 2020, 6½% Senior Notes due 2020, 6⅝% Senior Notes due 2021, 6¾% Senior Notes due 2022 and 6⅞% Senior Notes due 2023 had a total stated value of $6.4 billion (including the 7⅝% Senior Notes due 2018 that were repaid in June 2013), which was increased by $716 million to reflect the acquisition-date fair market value of these senior notes. Interest on these notes is payable semiannually. These senior notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of FCX, at make-whole redemption prices prior to the dates stated below, and beginning on the dates below at specified redemption prices. In addition, up to 35 percent of the principal amount of certain of these notes may be redeemed at specified redemption prices with all or a portion of the proceeds of an equity contribution.

MMR Debt Assumed. At the close of the acquisition of MMR, FCX assumed long-term debt with a stated value of $558 million, which was increased by $62 million to reflect the acquisition-date fair market value of these obligations. The fair value adjustments will be amortized over the term of the senior notes and recorded as a reduction of interest expense. Following is a brief description of the debt assumed in the MMR acquisition.

Interest on MMR's 11.875% Senior Notes due 2014 is payable semiannually, and these notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of FCX, at specified redemption prices. These notes are callable at par in November 2013 (refer to Note 12 for discussion of the redemption of these notes). During June and July 2013, holders of MMR's 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 converted their notes into merger consideration totaling $237 million, including cash payments of $209 million and 16.3 million royalty trust units with a fair value of $28 million at the acquisition date. Interest on MMR's 5¼% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 was payable semiannually (refer to Note 12 for discussion of the conversion of these notes in October 2013).

Repayments. In connection with the acquisition of PXP, FCX repaid the $3.9 billion outstanding under PXP's amended credit facility. Additionally, during June 2013, FCX redeemed all of PXP's 7⅝% Senior Notes due 2018, which were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition, for $415 million.

On March 14, 2012, FCX redeemed the remaining $3.0 billion of its outstanding 8.375% Senior Notes due 2017, for which holders received 104.553 percent of the principal amount together with the accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of this redemption, FCX recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $168 million ($149 million to net income attributable to FCX common stockholders) for the first nine months of 2012.

Other. During the first nine months of 2013, FCX recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $45 million ($36 million to net income attributable to FCX common stockholders) for financing costs incurred for the terminated $9.5 billion acquisition bridge loan facility, which was entered into in December 2012 to provide interim financing for the acquisitions of PXP and MMR but was replaced with other financing.

In February 2012, FCX sold $500 million of 1.40% Senior Notes due 2015, $500 million of 2.15% Senior Notes due 2017 and $2.0 billion of 3.55% Senior Notes due 2022 for total net proceeds of $2.97 billion. Interest on these notes is payable semiannually.

Guarantees. In connection with the acquisition of PXP, FCX guaranteed the PXP senior notes, and the guarantees by certain PXP subsidiaries were released. At the time of FCX's acquisition of MMR, FCX guaranteed MMR's 11.875% Senior Notes due 2014, and the guarantees by certain MMR subsidiaries were released. Refer to Note 14 for a discussion of FCX's senior notes guaranteed by FM O&G LLC.

Restrictive Covenants. The Term Loan and new revolving credit facility both contain customary affirmative covenants and representations, and also contain a number of negative covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of FCX's subsidiaries that are not borrowers or guarantors to incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations) and FCX's ability or the ability of FCX's subsidiaries to: create liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in mergers, liquidations and dissolutions; and sell assets. The Term Loan and new revolving credit facility also contain financial ratios governing maximum total leverage and minimum interest coverage. The FCX senior notes contain limitations on liens that are generally typical for investment grade companies.

Maturities. Maturities of debt instruments based on the amounts and terms outstanding at September 30, 2013, total $67 million for the remainder of 2013; $614 million in 2014; $1.1 billion in 2015, $750 million in 2016, $700 million in 2017 and $17.9 billion thereafter.
