4. DEBT

As of December 31, 2019, outstanding debt balances totaled $149.3 million, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, all of which were our long-term senior notes.

On October 2, 2013, we completed a public debt offering, issuing $150.0 million in senior notes maturing September 15, 2023, and paying interest semi-annually at the rate of 4.875 percent. The notes were issued at a discount resulting in proceeds, net of discount and commission, of $148.6 million. The amount of the discount is being charged to income over the life of the debt on an effective-yield basis. The estimated fair value for the senior note was $161.2 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on the limited observable prices that reflect thinly traded securities and is therefore classified as a Level 2 liability within the fair value hierarchy.

We paid $7.3 million of interest on our senior notes in each of the last three years. The average rate on debt was 4.91 percent in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

We maintain a revolving line of credit with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A., which permits the Company to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. Under certain conditions, the line may be increased up to an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million. This facility has a two-year term that expires on May 24, 2020. As of and during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, no amounts were outstanding on these facilities.
