The Company had a $1.5 billion bank facility expiring in March 2015. This facility was refinanced and the maturity extended to March 2016. All of the above bank facilities allow for borrowings at LIBOR-based rates plus a spread depending on the credit default swap spread applicable to the Company’s debt, subject to a cap and floor that vary with the Company’s debt rating assigned by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s. The spread above LIBOR can range from 0.23% to 1.63%. The Company also has the ability to issue up to $800 million of letters of credit under the facility expiring in March 2019, which if utilized, reduces available borrowings under this facility. As of March 28, 2015, $220 million of letters of credit were outstanding, of which none were issued under this facility. The facilities contain only one financial covenant, relating to interest coverage, which the Company met on March 28, 2015 by a significant margin, and specifically exclude certain entities, including the International Theme Parks, from any representations, covenants, or events of default.
