On June 1, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement which provides for a five-year $250.0 senior secured revolving credit facility (Revolving Facility) and a seven-year $400.0 senior secured term loan B facility (Term Loan) that became effective on June 30, 2015. Also on June 1, 2015, Energizer completed the issuance and sale of $600.0 of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (Senior Notes), with proceeds placed in escrow and released June 30, 2015. The proceeds from the Term Loan and Senior Notes were transferred to Edgewell on June 30, 2015 in exchange for the contribution of certain assets by Edgewell to the Company in connection with the separation.

The Senior Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers and will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws. Interest is payable semi-annually on the Senior Notes, and payments began on December 15, 2015. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by each of the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan.

On July 8, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to the existing credit agreement to increase capacity on the Revolving Facility to $350.0. This additional capacity is available to be utilized for working capital and other general corporate purposes. There were no other changes to the terms of the Revolving Facility.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin based on total Company leverage. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $100.0 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and had $6.7 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $243.3 remains available as of June 30, 2017.

The $400.0 Term Loan was issued at a $1.0 discount which is amortized with a corresponding charge to interest expense over the remaining life of the loan. The original interest rate was LIBOR subject to a 75 basis points floor, plus 250 basis points. On March 16, 2017, the Company completed the repricing of its Term Loan reducing the interest to LIBOR plus 200 basis points and eliminating the 75 basis points floor. The loans and commitments under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance. Obligations under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of its existing and future direct and indirectly wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries. There is a first priority perfected lien on substantially all of the assets and property of the Company and guarantors and proceeds therefrom excluding certain excluded assets. No other terms were changed as result of the March repricing.

In August 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.22%. This swap agreement was terminated in March 2017 and the Company entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with one major financial institution that continued to fix the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, our weighted average interest rate on variable rate debt, inclusive of the interest rate swap, was 3.19%.

The notes payable balance was $108.3 at June 30, 2017 and $57.4 at September 30, 2016. The June 30, 2017 balance was comprised of $100.0 outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility as well as $8.3 of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates. The September 30, 2016 balance was comprised of $52.5 outstanding borrowings on the Revolving facility as well as $4.9 of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates.

Debt Covenants

The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these facilities would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was, and expects to remain, in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements.

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt, including current maturities, at June 30, 2017 were as follows: $4.0 in one year, $4.0 in two years, $4.0 in three years, $4.0 in four years, $4.0 in five years and $973.0 thereafter.

The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.
