1         Total facilities are inclusive of $63 million for debt service reserve letters of credit.

2         Includes facility draws, letters of credit and commercial paper issuances that are back-stopped by the credit facility.

 

In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, the Company also has $269 million of uncommitted demand credit facilities, of which $250 million was unutilized as at June 30, 2014.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company has extended the maturity of a number of credit facilities for another year and increased committed credit facilities by $75 million.

 

Credit facilities carry a weighted average standby fee of 0.2% per annum on the unused portion and draws bear interest at market rates. Certain credit facilities serve as a back-stop to the commercial paper programs and the Company has the option to extend the facilities, which are currently set to mature from 2014 to 2019.

 

Commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings, of $5,803 million (December 31, 2013 - $4,580 million) are supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and therefore have been classified as long-term debt.
