Credit Revolver and Commercial Paper

On March 9, 2020, Moody’s Corporation ("Moody’s") downgraded the Company’s debt rating to “Ba1” based on a view that the Company would fail to meet Moody's target debt level for 2020. In addition, on November 1, 2019, S&P Global Inc. ("S&P") downgraded the Company’s debt rating to “BB+” as S&P believed the Company would fail to meet S&P’s target debt level for 2019. As a result of both downgrades, the Company’s ability to borrow under its commercial paper program was eliminated. Subsequently on April 15, 2020, Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") downgraded the Company’s debt rating to "BB" as they believed the Company would fail to meet Fitch's target debt level for 2020.

Previously, the Company was able to issue commercial paper up to a maximum of $800 million provided there was a sufficient amount available for borrowing under the Company’s $1.25 billion revolving credit facility that matures in December 2023 (“the Credit Revolver”). The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Revolver was not affected by the downgrades. The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Revolver is the borrowing period referenced LIBOR rate plus 127.5 basis points. At March 31, 2020, the Company had $40 million outstanding under its commercial paper program, which was subsequently repaid in April when the Company accessed $125 million under the Credit Revolver. At March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any amounts outstanding under the Credit Revolver.
Senior Notes

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $15 million of the 4.20% senior notes due 2026 at approximately par value. The total consideration, excluding accrued interest, was approximately $15 million. As a result of the partial debt extinguishment, the Company recorded an immaterial loss.

As a result of the aforementioned debt rating downgrades of Moody's and S&P, certain of the Company’s Senior Notes aggregating to approximately $4.5 billion are subject to an interest rate adjustment of 25 basis points as a result of each downgrade, for a total of 50 basis points. This increase to the interest rates of each series of the Company's senior notes subject to adjustment is expected to increase the Company’s interest expense for 2020 by approximately $17 million and approximately $23 million on an annualized basis. The Fitch downgrade did not impact the interest rates on any of the Company's senior notes.

Receivables Facility

The Company maintains an Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility (the “Securitization Facility”). The aggregate commitment under the Securitization Facility is $600 million. The Securitization Facility matures in October 2022 and bears interest at a margin over a variable interest rate. At March 31, 2020, the Company drew down the maximum net availability under the Securitization Facility, which fluctuates based on eligible accounts receivable balances. In March 2020, the Company amended its Securitization Facility with respect to certain customer receivables and to remove an originator from the Securitization Facility.

Net Investment Hedge

The Company has designated the €300 million principal balance of the 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-functional currency subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets. At March 31, 2020, $9 million of deferred gains have been recorded in AOCL. See Footnote 10 for disclosures regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments.
