(1)The fair value hedges related to these notes have been settled and are being amortized over the life of the respective note.

(2)We repaid our $500 million 2.25% notes upon maturity in March 2020, at which time we also settled the associated cross currency swaps resulting in cash receipts of $3.2 million, which were classified as financing and investing activities in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As of June 30, 2020, we have cross currency swaps associated with our $1.0 billion 2.1% senior notes due 2021 in order to hedge a portion of the foreign currency translational impacts of our European investment. As a result of the swaps, we have economically converted a portion of these notes and associated interest to EUR denominated, which results in a EUR interest rate to be received of 0.71%.

(3)We maintain a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 7, 2024, that allows us to issue a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 billion in commercial paper or other borrowings at any time at variable interest rates. We use this financing from time to time to leverage cash needs including debt repayments. During the first half of 2020, we utilized borrowings from this facility in order to fund the repayment of our $500 million 2.25% notes upon maturity in March 2020, for working capital and general purposes, as well as a precautionary measure in order to provide enhanced financial flexibility due to uncertain market conditions arising from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, as further discussed in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." These borrowings were subsequently repaid during the second quarter of 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, we had $1.3 billion available to draw on the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is also reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program. The outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program had a weighted-average effective interest rate and tenor of 1.05% and 31 days, respectively, as of June 30, 2020. We had no borrowings drawn on this revolving credit facility and no commercial paper borrowings as of December 31, 2019.

Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we had net commercial paper payments of approximately $25 million, for a total amount outstanding of approximately $175 million as of July 30, 2020. As such, as of July 30, 2020, we have approximately $1.3 billion available to draw on our total $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Additionally, we expect to use commercial paper issuances and cash on hand to fund the upcoming repayment of our CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due September 2020, which we began purchasing CAD in anticipation of this upcoming maturity during July 2020.

(4)On May 26, 2020, Molson Coors Brewing Company (UK) Limited (“MCBC U.K.”), a subsidiary of MCBC that operates and manages the Company’s business in the U.K., established a commercial paper facility for the purpose of issuing short-term, unsecured Sterling-denominated notes that are eligible for purchase under the Joint HM Treasury and Bank of England’s COVID Corporate Financing Facility commercial paper program (the “CCFF Program”) in an aggregate principal amount up to GBP 300 million, which may be increased from time to time as provided in the Dealer Agreement (as defined below). Commercial paper issuances under the CCFF Program do not impact the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.

In connection with the CCFF Program, MCBC U.K. and MCBC entered into a Dealer Agreement (the “Dealer Agreement”) with Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets PLC (“Lloyds”), as both the arranger and dealer, pursuant to which notes may be issued to Lloyds at such prices and upon such terms as MCBC U.K. and Lloyds may agree. The maturities of the notes vary but will not be less than seven days nor greater than 364 days. The Dealer Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions typical for the issuance of commercial paper of this type. In addition, MCBC entered into a Deed of Guarantee to guarantee the payment of all sums payable from time to time by MCBC U.K. in respect of the notes to the holders of any notes.

As of both June 30, 2020 and July 30, 2020, we had no borrowings outstanding under the CCFF Program.

(5)As of June 30, 2020, we had $6.9 million in bank overdrafts and $39.3 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool, for a net positive position of $32.4 million. As of December 31, 2019, we had $1.1 million in bank overdrafts and $55.0 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $53.9 million. We had total outstanding borrowings of $2.8 million under our two JPY overdraft facilities as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In addition, we have USD, CAD and GBP lines of credit under which we had no borrowings as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Debt Fair Value Measurements

We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) was approximately $8.7 billion and $9.2 billion, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of all other outstanding long-term borrowings and our short-term borrowings approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt Covenants

On June 19, 2020, we entered into to an amendment to our existing revolving credit facility agreement, which among other things, revised the leverage ratios under the financial maintenance covenant for each fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2020 through the maturity of the credit facility. The maximum leverage ratio, as defined by the amended revolving credit facility agreement as of June 30, 2020 is 4.75x net debt to EBITDA, with an increase to 5.25x net debt to EBITDA as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021, followed by a 0.50x reduction to 4.75x net debt to EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021. The leverage ratio requirement as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 is reduced by 0.25x to 4.50x net debt to EBITDA, with a further 0.50x reduction to 4.00x net debt to EBITDA as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 through maturity of the credit facility.

Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness (certain thresholds of secured consolidated net tangible assets), certain leverage threshold percentages, create or permit liens on assets, and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions, and certain types of sale lease-back transactions. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of June 30, 2020 rank pari-passu.
