Credit Facilities
Valero Revolver
We have a revolving credit facility (the Valero Revolver) with a borrowing capacity of $4 billion that matures in March 2024. The Valero Revolver also provides for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $2.4 billion.

Outstanding borrowings under the Valero Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) the adjusted LIBO rate (as defined in the Valero Revolver) for the applicable interest period in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin or (ii) the alternate base rate (as defined in the Valero Revolver) plus the applicable margin. The Valero Revolver also requires payments for customary fees, including facility fees, letter of credit participation fees, and administrative agent fees. The interest rate and facility fees under the Valero Revolver are subject to adjustment based upon the credit ratings assigned to our senior unsecured debt.

We had no borrowings or repayments under the Valero Revolver during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.

364-day Revolving Credit Facility
In April 2020, we entered into an $875 million 364-Day Credit Agreement (the 364-day Revolving Credit Facility) with several lenders. This facility provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $875 million and matures 364 days from April 13, 2020.

Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the base rate or the eurodollar rate (at our election) plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.150 percent to 1.700 percent, based upon the elected interest rate type and our debt ratings from certain rating agencies. The facility requires us to pay a commitment fee accruing on the daily amount of used and unused commitments of the lenders, which is also based upon our debt ratings mentioned above. The interest and commitment fees under this facility are payable quarterly. The facility also requires us to pay a customary agency fee to the administrative agent. The facility contains various customary covenants and events of default.

IEnova Revolver
Central Mexico Terminals (as described in Note 13) has a combined unsecured revolving credit facility (IEnova Revolver) with IEnova (defined in Note 13) that matures in February 2028. In November 2019, the borrowing capacity under the IEnova Revolver was increased from $340 million to $491 million, and during the year ended December 31, 2020, it was increased to $660 million. IEnova may terminate this revolver at any time and demand repayment of all outstanding amounts; therefore, all outstanding borrowings are reflected in current portion of debt. The IEnova Revolver is available only to the operations of Central Mexico Terminals, and the creditors of Central Mexico Terminals do not have recourse against us.

Outstanding borrowings under this revolver bear interest at the three-month LIBO rate for the applicable interest period in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin. The interest rate under this revolver is subject to adjustment, with agreement by both parties, based upon changes in market conditions. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the variable rate was 3.870 percent and 5.749 percent, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 Central Mexico Terminals borrowed $250 million, $239 million, and $109 million, respectively, and had no repayments under this revolver.

Canadian Revolver
In November 2020, one of our Canadian subsidiaries amended its committed revolving credit facility (the Canadian Revolver) of C$150 million to extend the maturity date from November 2020 to November 2021. The Canadian Revolver also provides for the issuance of letters of credit.

We had no borrowings or repayments under this revolver during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.

Accounts Receivable Sales Facility
We have an accounts receivable sales facility with a group of third-party entities and financial institutions to sell eligible trade receivables on a revolving basis. In July 2020, we extended the maturity date of this facility to July 2021 and decreased the facility amount from $1.3 billion to $1.0 billion. Under this program, one of our marketing subsidiaries (Valero Marketing) sells eligible receivables, without recourse, to another of our subsidiaries (Valero Capital), whereupon the receivables are no longer owned by Valero Marketing. Valero Capital, in turn, sells an undivided percentage ownership interest in the eligible receivables, without recourse, to the third-party entities and financial institutions. To the extent that Valero Capital retains an ownership interest in the receivables it has purchased from Valero Marketing, such interest is included in our financial statements solely as a result of the consolidation of the financial statements of Valero Capital with those of Valero Energy Corporation; the receivables are not available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Valero Marketing or Valero Energy Corporation.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, $1.4 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, of our accounts receivable composed the designated pool of accounts receivable included in the program. All amounts outstanding under the accounts receivable sales facility are reflected as debt on our balance sheets and proceeds and repayments are reflected as cash flows from financing activities on the statements of cash flows.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold $300 million of eligible receivables under our accounts receivable sales facility and repaid $400 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold $900 million of eligible receivables under our accounts receivable sales facility and repaid $900 million. The variable interest rate on the borrowings outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2019 was 2.3866 percent. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we had no proceeds from or repayments under the accounts receivable sales facility.

VLP Revolver
As of December 31, 2018, VLP had a $750 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the VLP Revolver) with a group of lenders that was scheduled to mature in November 2020. However, on January 10, 2019, in connection with the completion of the Merger Transaction as described in Note 3, the VLP Revolver was terminated.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, VLP repaid the outstanding balance of $410 million on the VLP Revolver using proceeds from its public offering of $500 million 4.5 percent Senior Notes as described in “Public Debt” below.

Proceeds from the April and September 2020 debt issuances totaled $4.020 billion before deducting the underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the following activity occurred:

•We issued $1 billion of 4.00 percent Senior Notes due April 1, 2029. Proceeds from this debt issuance totaled $992 million before deducting the underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs.

•In connection with the completion of the Merger Transaction as described in Note 3, Valero Energy Corporation, the parent company, entered into a guarantee agreement to fully and unconditionally guarantee the prompt payment, when due, of the following debt issued by VLP, one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, that was outstanding upon completion of the Merger Transaction:

◦$500 million of 4.375 percent Senior Notes due December 15, 2026; and

◦$500 million of 4.5 percent Senior Notes due March 15, 2028.

Effective March 31, 2020, we early applied the U.S. SEC’s Final Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities. This rule allows us to cease providing the previously required condensed consolidating financial information in our periodic reports while the senior notes issued by VLP noted above are outstanding, as VLP’s reporting obligation was suspended on January 22, 2019 in connection with the completion of the Merger Transaction.
