Debt	Unsecured Debt At August 31, 2014, our short-term borrowings consisted of euro-denominated commercial paper of $112 million and euro-denominated bank loans of $34 million with an aggregate weighted-average interest rate of 0.7%. In December 2013, we entered into a five-year $150 million floating rate bank loan due in September 2019. We plan to draw under this loan by November 2014 and use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. In January 2014, we repaid $200 million of a floating rate bank loan prior to its October 2014 maturity date. In March 2014, we repaid $139 million of a floating rate euro-denominated bank loan prior to its September 2014 maturity date. In April 2014, we repaid $109 million of an export credit facility prior to its April 2023 maturity date. In May 2014, we repaid $300 million of an export credit facility prior to its May 2024 maturity date. In September 2014, we repaid $181 million, which represented the remaining portion of this facility. In May 2014, we borrowed $554 million under an export credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay for a portion of Regal Princess' purchase price. This floating rate facility is due in semi-annual installments through May 2026. In May 2014, we borrowed $275 million under a euro-denominated floating rate revolving bank loan facility, the proceeds of which were used for general corporate purposes. This facility has a perpetual term although we can terminate it at any time, and the bank can terminate the facility at any time upon nine months notice. In June 2014, Carnival Corporation, Carnival plc and certain of Carnival plc's subsidiaries amended and replaced their existing five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility of $2.5 billion (comprised of $1.6 billion, €450 million and £150 million) with a new five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). This Facility of $2.6 billion (comprised of $1.7 billion, €500 million and £150 million) at August 31, 2014 expires in June 2019, and we have options to extend this Facility through June 2021 subject to the approval of each bank. The Facility currently bears interest at LIBOR/EURIBOR plus a margin of 40 basis points (“bps”). The margin varies based on changes to Carnival Corporation's and Carnival plc's long-term senior unsecured credit ratings. We are required to pay a commitment fee of 35% of the margin per annum on any undrawn portion. We will also incur an additional utilization fee of 10 bps, 20 bps or 40 bps if equal to or less than one-third, more than one-third or more than two-thirds of the Facility, respectively, is drawn on the total amount outstanding. In June 2014, we entered into an export credit facility that will provide us with the ability to borrow up to an aggregate of $236 million. Proceeds from this facility will be used to pay for a portion of the purchase price of a Seabourn ship, which is expected to be delivered in November 2016. This borrowing will be due in semi-annual installments through November 2028. In August 2014, we restructured two floating rate bank loan facilities that had an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $250 million at August 31, 2014. The restructuring added another $150 million undrawn tranche and converted the terms into perpetual one-year maturities.
