Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt of $145.2 million as of March 31, 2018, included $132 million of commercial paper borrowings and $13.2 million of other notes. As of 2017 year end, notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt of $433.2 million included $250 million of unsecured 4.25% notes due on January 16, 2018 (the "2018 Notes"), that were repaid upon maturity in accordance with their terms, $151 million of commercial paper borrowings and $32.2 million of other notes. As of 2017 year end, $200 million of unsecured 6.70% notes due March 1, 2019 (the "2019 Notes") were included in “Long-term debt” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as their scheduled maturity was in excess of one year of the 2017 year-end balance sheet date.

On February 20, 2018, Snap-on commenced a tender offer to repurchase the 2019 Notes with $26.1 million of the 2019 Notes tendered and repaid on February 27, 2018. On February 20, 2018, Snap-on also issued a notice of redemption for any remaining outstanding 2019 Notes not tendered, with the redemption completed on March 22, 2018. The total cash cost for this tender and redemption was $209.1 million, including accrued interest of $1.5 million. Snap-on recorded $7.8 million for the loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the 2019 Notes, which included the redemption premium and other issuance costs associated with this debt in "Other income (expense) - net" on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. See Note 15 for additional information on other income (expense) - net.

On February 20, 2018, Snap-on sold, at a discount, $400 million of unsecured 4.10% long-term notes that mature on March 1, 2048 (the "2048 Notes"). Interest on the 2048 Notes is payable semi-annually beginning September 1, 2018. Snap-on used a portion of the $395.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of the 2048 Notes, reflecting $3.5 million of transaction costs, to repay the 2019 Notes. The remaining net proceeds were used to repay a portion of its then-outstanding commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions.

On February 15, 2017, Snap-on sold, at a discount, $300 million of unsecured 3.25% long-term notes that mature on March 1, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). Interest on the 2027 Notes is payable semi-annually beginning September 1, 2017. Snap-on used the $297.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of the 2027 Notes, reflecting $1.9 million of transaction costs, to repay a portion of its then-outstanding commercial paper borrowings and the remainder was retained for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions.

Snap-on has a five-year, $700 million multi-currency revolving credit facility that terminates on December 15, 2020 (the “Credit Facility”); no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2018. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at varying rates based on Snap-on’s then-current, long-term debt ratings. The Credit Facility’s financial covenant requires that Snap-on maintain, as of each fiscal quarter end, either (i) a ratio not greater than 0.60 to 1.00 of consolidated net debt (consolidated debt net of certain cash adjustments) to the sum of such consolidated net debt plus total equity and less accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (the “Debt Ratio”); or (ii) a ratio not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 of such consolidated net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other adjustments for the preceding four fiscal quarters then ended (the “Debt to EBITDA Ratio”). Snap-on may, up to two times during any five-year period during the term of the Credit Facility (including any extensions thereof), increase the maximum Debt Ratio to 0.65 to 1.00 and/or increase the maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 for four consecutive fiscal quarters in connection with certain material acquisitions (as defined in the related credit agreement). As of March 31, 2018, the company’s actual ratios of 0.24 and 1.04 respectively, were both within the permitted ranges set forth in this financial covenant. Snap-on generally issues commercial paper to fund its financing needs on a short-term basis and uses the Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support such commercial paper issuances.
