(1) Senior notes are guaranteed as to payment by Pentair and PISG.


In June 2019, Pentair, Pentair Finance S.à r.l. (“PFSA”) and Pentair Investments Switzerland GmbH (“PISG”) completed a public offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of PFSA’s 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by Pentair and PISG. We used the net proceeds of the 2029 Notes to partially repay outstanding commercial paper.
In April 2018, Pentair, PISG, PFSA and Pentair, Inc. entered into a credit agreement, providing for an $800.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a term of five years (the “Senior Credit Facility”), with Pentair and PISG as guarantors and PFSA and Pentair, Inc. as borrowers. The Senior Credit Facility replaced PFSA’s existing credit facility under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2014. The Senior Credit Facility has a maturity date of April 25, 2023. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on, at PFSA’s election, Pentair’s leverage level or PFSA’s public credit rating.
PFSA has the option to request an increase to the Senior Credit Facility up to $1,100.0 million in the aggregate, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of participating lenders. In May 2019, PFSA executed an increase of the Senior Credit Facility by $100.0 million for a total commitment up to $900.0 million in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2019, total availability under the Senior Credit Facility was $706.7 million.
PFSA is authorized to sell short-term commercial paper notes to the extent availability exists under the Senior Credit Facility. PFSA uses the Senior Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support 100% of commercial paper outstanding. PFSA had $189.7 million of commercial paper outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and $76.0 million as of December 31, 2018, all of which was classified as long-term debt as we have the intent and the ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis under the Senior Credit Facility.
Our debt agreements contain various financial covenants, but the most restrictive covenants are contained in the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility contains covenants requiring us not to permit (i) the ratio of our consolidated debt (net of our consolidated unrestricted cash in excess of $5.0 million but not to exceed $250.0 million) to our consolidated net income (excluding, among other things, non-cash gains and losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation expense (“EBITDA”) on the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (the “Leverage Ratio”) and (ii) the ratio of our EBITDA to our consolidated interest expense, for the same period to be less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. For purposes of the Leverage Ratio, the Senior Credit Facility provides for the calculation of EBITDA giving pro forma effect to certain acquisitions, divestitures and liquidations during the period to which such calculation relates.
In addition to the Senior Credit Facility, we have various other credit facilities with an aggregate availability of $20.9 million, of which there were no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2019. Borrowings under these credit facilities bear interest at variable rates.

We have $324.0 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes maturing in the next twelve months. We classified this debt as long-term as of September 30, 2019 as we have the intent and ability to refinance such obligation on a long-term basis under the Senior Credit Facility.
Debt outstanding, excluding unamortized issuance costs and discounts, at September 30, 2019 matures on a calendar year basis as follows:
