LINES OF CREDIT
At June 30, 2017, Sempra Energy Consolidated had an aggregate of $4.3 billion in three primary committed lines of credit for Sempra Energy, Sempra Global and the California Utilities to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper. The principal terms of these committed lines of credit, which expire in October 2020, are described below and in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. Available unused credit on these lines at June 30, 2017 was approximately $3.1 billion. Our foreign operations have additional general purpose credit facilities aggregating $1.7 billion at June 30, 2017. Available unused credit on these lines totaled $1 billion at June 30, 2017.

(1) The facility also provides for issuance of up to $400 million of letters of credit on behalf of Sempra Energy with the amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit. No letters of credit were outstanding at June 30, 2017.
(2) Sempra Energy guarantees Sempra Global’s obligations under the credit facility.
(3) The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit on behalf of each utility subject to a combined letter of credit commitment of $250 million for both utilities. The amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility is reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit. No letters of credit were outstanding at June 30, 2017.
(4) Because the commercial paper programs are supported by these lines, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit.

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in each agreement) of no more than 65 percent at the end of each quarter. Each entity is in compliance with this and all other financial covenants under its respective credit facility at June 30, 2017.
