_______________
(1)Includes the impact from the fair market values of hedging instruments on our notes, which were $47 million as of December 31, 2022 and $12 million as of December 31, 2021. The notional amount of the executed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $500 million and $450 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(2)Asset-backed U.S. obligations are related to financing transactions backed by a portion of our revenue earning equipment.

The fair value of total debt (excluding finance lease and asset-backed U.S. obligations) was approximately $5.7 billion and $6.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. For other debt, fair value was estimated based on a model-driven approach using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value measurements of our publicly-traded debt and our other debt were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Debt Proceeds and Repayments

In February 2022, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $450 million unsecured medium terms notes that mature on March 1, 2027. The notes bear interest at a rate of 2.85% per year. In May 2022, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $300 million unsecured medium-term notes that mature on June 15, 2027. The notes bear interest at a rate of 4.30% per year.

In November 2022, we entered into three term notes that mature on November 16, 2027, with aggregate principal amounts totaling $175 million, bearing annual interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 5.15%.

In 2022, we received $102 million from financing transactions backed by a portion of our revenue earning equipment. The proceeds from the transaction were used for general corporate purposes. We provided end of term guarantees for the residual value of the revenue earning equipment in the transaction. The transaction proceeds, along with the end of term residual value guarantees, have been included within "asset-backed U.S. obligations" in the preceding table.
The following table includes our debt proceeds and repayments in 2022:

Debt proceeds were used to repay maturing debt and for general corporate purposes. If the unsecured medium-term notes are downgraded below investment grade following, or as a result of, a change in control, the note holders can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of principal value plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Global Revolving Credit Facility

We maintain a $1.4 billion global revolving credit facility, which supports U.S. and Canadian commercial paper programs, with a syndicate of eleven lending institutions and expires in December 2026. The agreement provides for annual facility fees which range from 7.0 to 17.5 basis points based on our long-term credit ratings. The annual facility fee is 12.5 basis points as of December 31, 2022. The credit facility is primarily used to finance working capital and vehicle purchases, but can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility as of December 31, 2022). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on specific risk-free rates. The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions, and certain affirmative and negative covenants. Our revolving credit facility will expire in December 2026. As of December 31, 2022, there was $727 million available under the credit facility.

In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to Consolidated Net Worth of less than or equal to 300%. Consolidated Net Worth, as defined in the credit facility, represents shareholders' equity excluding any accumulated other comprehensive income or loss associated with our pension and other postretirement plans as well as currency translation adjustment as reported in our consolidated balance sheet. Consolidated Net Worth also adds back the after-tax charge to shareholders' equity which resulted from our adoption of the new lease accounting standard as of December 31, 2018 (amortized quarterly to 50% of the charge over a 7 year period) and any potential non-cash FMS North America goodwill impairment charges, should they occur, up to a maximum amount. As of December 31, 2022, the ratio was 162%.

Our global revolving credit facility enables us to refinance short-term obligations on a long-term basis. Short-term commercial paper obligations are classified as long-term as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis.
Trade Receivables Financing Program

We maintain a $300 million trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn sells, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a committed purchaser. The subsidiary is considered a VIE and is consolidated based on our control of the entity’s activities. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in interest rates. In May 2022, we extended the expiration date of the trade receivables financing program to May 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the available proceeds under the program were $168 million, net of short-term borrowings of $50 million and issued letter of credit outstanding of $82 million. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectability of the collateralized receivables. Sales of receivables under this program are accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets.
