The weighted-average effective borrowing rate on outstanding commercial paper at December 31, 2016 was 0.59 percent.
At December 31, 2016, we had a total of $2.87 billion of unused committed bank credit facilities, which consisted primarily of a $1.20 billion credit facility that expires in August 2021 and a $1.50 billion 364-day facility that expires in December 2017, both of which are available to support our commercial paper program. There were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facilities during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Compensating balances and commitment fees are not material, and there are no conditions that are probable of occurring under which the lines may be withdrawn.
In May 2016, we issued Swiss franc-denominated notes consisting of Fr.200.0 million of 0.00 percent fixed-rate notes due in May 2018, Fr.600.0 million of 0.15 percent fixed-rate notes due in May 2024, and Fr.400.0 million of 0.45 percent fixed-rate notes due in May 2028, with interest to be paid annually. We are using the net cash proceeds of the offering of $1.21 billion for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment or redemption prior to maturity of certain of our U.S. dollar denominated fixed-rate notes due March 2017.
In June 2015, we issued euro-denominated notes consisting of €600.0 million of 1.00 percent fixed-rate notes due in June 2022, €750.0 million of 1.63 percent fixed-rate notes due in June 2026, and €750.0 million of 2.13 percent fixed-rate notes due in June 2030 with interest to be paid annually. The net cash proceeds of the offering of $2.27 billion were used primarily to purchase and redeem certain higher interest rate U.S. dollar-denominated notes and to repay outstanding commercial paper. We paid $1.95 billion to purchase and redeem notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.65 billion and a net carrying value of $1.78 billion in June 2015, resulting in a pretax debt extinguishment loss of $166.7 million, which was included in other–net, (income) expense in our consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2015.
In March 2015, we issued $600.0 million of 1.25 percent fixed-rate notes due in March 2018, $800.0 million of 2.75 percent fixed-rate notes due in June 2025, and $800.0 million of 3.70 percent fixed-rate notes due in March 2045 with interest to be paid semi-annually. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes were used primarily to repay outstanding commercial paper issued in connection with our January 2015 acquisition of Novartis AH.
In February 2014, we issued $600.0 million of 1.95 percent and $400.0 million of 4.65 percent fixed-rate notes with interest to be paid semi-annually and maturity dates in March 2019, and June 2044, respectively. Current maturities of long-term notes of $1.00 billion were repaid in March 2014.
The aggregate amounts of maturities on long-term debt for the next five years are as follows:

We have converted approximately 35 percent of our long-term fixed-rate notes to floating rates through the use of interest rate swaps. The weighted-average effective borrowing rates based on long-term debt obligations and interest rates at December 31, 2016 and 2015, including the effects of interest rate swaps for hedged debt obligations, were 2.51 percent and 2.67 percent, respectively.
The aggregate amount of cash payments for interest on borrowings, net of capitalized interest, are as follows:

In accordance with the requirements of derivatives and hedging guidance, the portion of our fixed-rate debt obligations that is hedged as a fair value hedge, is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as an amount equal to the sum of the debt’s carrying value plus the fair value adjustment representing changes in fair value of the hedged debt attributable to movements in market interest rates subsequent to the inception of the hedge.
