REPURCHASE OF SENIOR NOTES
In the first quarter of 2015, we repurchased $350 million of our 8.375% Senior Notes due in 2018, or the 2018 Senior Notes, through both a cash tender offer and a subsequent notice of redemption of the remaining 2018 Senior Notes. On February 24, 2015, we completed a cash tender offer pursuant to which we repurchased $126 million of the 2018 Senior Notes for aggregate consideration, including tender offer premium and accrued and unpaid interest, of $135 million. On March 26, 2015, we repurchased the remaining $224 million of the 2018 Senior Notes for aggregate consideration, including premiums and accrued and unpaid interest, of $242 million. As a result of the repurchases, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $19 million including premiums and write-off of deferred financing fees.
ISSUANCE OF SENIOR NOTES
On February 24, 2015 we issued $350 million of 5.5% senior notes due March 1, 2025, or the 2025 Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes and cash on hand were used to fund the repurchases of the 2018 Senior Notes and all related costs and expenses.
The 2025 Senior Notes were recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at $350 million. We deferred approximately $6 million of financing costs that are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. Our obligations under the 2025 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. The notes are redeemable at any time, or in part from time to time, at our option on or after March 1, 2020 at stated redemption prices, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, we may redeem the notes at our option at any time after March 1, 2020, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 102.75% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.
The 2025 Senior Notes contain a provision the same as or similar to the provision in our other senior notes that requires us to offer to purchase those notes at 101% of their principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) in the event of a change in control.
The indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes contains events of default, covenants and restrictions that are substantially the same as those governing our other senior notes, including a limitation on our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to create or incur secured indebtedness.
SHIP MORTGATE FACILITY
In February 2015, as consideration for the consent of DVB Bank SE, as lender, agent and security trustee of the secured loan facility agreement, to allow Gypsum Transportation Limited, or GTL, to enter into certain future contracts of affreightment, GTL voluntarily repaid $2 million of the outstanding loan balance under its secured loan facility. The repayment provisions of the secured loan facility were not otherwise modified. The voluntary payment was not classified in the current portion of long-term debt on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. GTL also repaid $1 million in the first quarter of 2015 in accordance with the terms of the original loan facility agreement. In April 2015, in connection with the sale of two self-unloading vessels, GTL repaid the outstanding loan balance of $18 million. See Note 17 for discussion of GTL.
CREDIT FACILITY
Taking into account the most recent borrowing base calculation delivered under the credit facility, which reflects trade receivables and inventory as of June 30, 2015, and outstanding letters of credit, borrowings available under the credit facility were approximately $352 million, including $50 million for CGC. As of June 30, 2015 and during the quarter then-ended, there were no borrowings under the facility. Had there been any borrowings as of that date, the applicable interest rate would have been 2.03% for loans in the US and 2.74% for loans in Canada. Outstanding letters of credit totaled $53 million as of June 30, 2015.
The fair value of our debt was approximately $2.315 billion as of June 30, 2015 and $2.338 billion as of December 31, 2014. The fair values were based on quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active or valuation models in which all significant inputs and value drivers are observable and, as a result, are classified as Level 2 inputs. See Note 9 for further discussion on fair value measurements and classifications.
As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in our credit facilities.
