On September 16, 2014, the Company closed on an underwritten offering of $250.0 million 4.10% Guaranteed Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") and $250.0 million 4.55% Guaranteed Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). The Company used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem the remaining outstanding balance of its 5.40% Guaranteed Notes due November 1, 2014 (the "2014 Notes") and its 7.50% Guaranteed Notes due May 15, 2015 (the "2015 Notes"). (See further discussion below).
During 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company’s weighted-average effective interest rate on its mortgage notes payable was 5.72%, 5.73%, and 6.65%, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the net carrying value of the Company's Properties that are encumbered by mortgage indebtedness was $655.9 million and $669.8 million, respectively.
On September 16, 2014, the Company closed on an underwritten offering of its 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes (as defined above). The 2024 Notes were priced at 99.388% of their face amount with a yield to maturity of 4.175%, representing a spread at the time of pricing of 1.70%. The 2029 Notes were priced at 99.191% of their face amount with a yield to maturity of 4.625%, representing a spread at the time of pricing of 2.15%. The 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes have been reflected net of discounts of $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes, aggregating $492.9 million after the deduction for underwriting discounts and offering expenses, to fund its repurchase, through a tender offer, of a portion of 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes (as defined above). Specifically, on September 16, 2014, the Company funded, under the tender offer, $75.1 million in respect of the 2014 Notes and $42.7 million in respect of the 2015 Notes. The Company recognized a $2.6 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the total repurchase.
On September 16, 2014, the Company repaid the entire $150.0 million three-year term loan and $100.0 million four-year term loan prior to their scheduled February 2015 and 2016 maturities, respectively. In connection with these repayments, the Company accelerated $0.3 million of deferred financing amortization expense and also incurred a $0.8 million charge on the termination of associated interest rate swap contracts, as reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9, "Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments," for further information related to the termination of the interest rate swap contracts.
On September 16, 2014, the Company gave notice of redemption, in full, of the $143.5 million of 2014 Notes that remained outstanding following completion of the tender offer. The Company completed the redemption of the 2014 Notes on October 16, 2014 at a cash redemption price of $1,026.88 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2014 Notes (inclusive of accrued interest to the redemption date). Also on September 16, 2014, the Company gave notice of redemption, in full, of the $114.9 million of 2015 Notes that remained outstanding following completion of the tender offer. The Company completed the redemption of the 2015 Notes on October 16, 2014 at a cash redemption price of $1,070.24 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Notes (inclusive of accrued interest to the redemption date). The Company recognized a $5.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to total repurchase.

The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the unsecured debt obligations of the Operating Partnership (or is a co-borrower with the Operating Partnership) but does not by itself incur unsecured indebtedness. The Parent Company has no material assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

The Company utilizes its $600.0 million four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") for general business purposes, including funding costs of acquisitions, developments and redevelopments and repayment of other debt. The scheduled maturity date of the Credit Facility in place at December 31, 2014 is February 1, 2016. The per annum variable interest rate on the outstanding balances is LIBOR plus 1.50%. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment upon a change in the Company’s unsecured debt ratings. There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility during the year-ended December 31, 2014. For the year-ended December 31, 2013, the weighted-average interest rate associated with the Credit Facility was 0.29%. As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings on its Credit Facility, with $4.3 million in letters of credit outstanding, leaving $595.7 million of unused availability under the Credit Facility.
The Company has the option to increase the amounts available to be advanced under the Credit Facility, subject to customary conditions and limitations, by obtaining additional commitments from the current lenders and other financial institutions. The Company also has the option to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility. The unsecured $200.0 million seven-year term loan (the "Term Loan") is subject to a prepayment penalty of 1.00% through February 1, 2015 with no penalty thereafter.
The spread to LIBOR for LIBOR-based loans under the Credit Facility will depend on our unsecured senior debt credit rating. Based on the Company's current credit rating, the spread will be 150 basis points under the Credit Facility and 190 basis points under the seven-year term loan, respectively. At our option, advances under the Credit Facility and Term Loan may also bear interest at a per annum floating rate equal to the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum. The Credit Facility contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loans to us at a reduced rate. The Company executed a hedging transaction that fix the rate on the Term Loan at a 3.623% average for its full term. The hedge commenced on February 1, 2012 and the rate is inclusive of the LIBOR spread based on our current investment grade rating. See Note 9, "Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments," for details of the interest rate swaps entered into as of December 31, 2014.

The Credit Facility and Term Loan contain financial and operating covenants and restrictions. The Company was in compliance with all such restrictions and financial covenants as of December 31, 2014. The Credit Facility restricts the Company's dividend distributions to the greater of 95% of funds from operations or the minimum amount necessary for the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s aggregate scheduled principal payments of debt obligations, excluding amortization of discounts and premiums, were as follows (in thousands):
