For the first nine months of 2014, our long-term debt increased by $399.7 million primarily reflecting the issuance of $675.0 million of new notes in support of the Classified Ventures, LLC (owner of Cars.com) acquisition, partially offset by the early repayment of the 9.375% notes due in 2017. We redeemed the 9.375% notes by paying 104.688% of the outstanding principal amount in accordance with the original terms. The early redemption of these notes will save us approximately $19.4 million in interest expense for 2014.
On September 8, 2014, we completed the private placement of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior unsecured notes due 2021. The 2021 Notes were priced at 98.531% of face value, resulting in a yield to maturity of 5.125%. Subject to certain exceptions, we may not redeem the 2021 Notes before September 15, 2017. On the same day, we completed the private placement of $325.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior unsecured notes due 2024. The 2024 Notes were priced at 99.038% of face value, resulting in a yield to maturity of 5.625%. Subject to certain exceptions, we may not redeem the 2024 Notes before September 15, 2019. The 2021 and 2024 Notes were issued in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The 2021 and 2024 Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by our subsidiaries that guarantee our revolving credit facility, term loan and our other outstanding notes. After quarter end, we used the net proceeds from the private placements of the 2021 and 2024 Notes plus cash and borrowings under our revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition of all of the outstanding membership interests of Classified Ventures, LLC previously owned by other parties.
On September 28, 2014, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1.27 billion under our revolving credit agreement that expires in August 2018. Immediately following the Classified Ventures acquisition on October 1, 2014, our unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement was $617.5 million.
