On August 18, 2014, long-term private debt was issued for $352 million and US$1,061 million related to Southern Lights project financing. The proceeds were utilized to repay the construction credit facilities on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Excluded from December 31, 2014 total facilities above was Southern Lights project financing facilities of $28 million (2013 - $1,570 million). Included in the 2013 facilities for Southern Lights were $63 million for debt service reserve letters of credit.

 

In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, the Company also has $361 million (2013 - $35 million) of uncommitted demand credit facilities, of which $80 million (2013 - $17 million) was unutilized as at December 31, 2014.

 

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 2016 to 2019.

 

Commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings, of $8,960 million (2013 - $4,580 million) are supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and therefore have been classified as long-term debt.

 

The Company’s credit facility agreements include standard events of default and covenant provisions whereby accelerated repayment may be required if the Company were to default on payment or violate certain covenants. As at December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
