The weighted-average interest rates for the Company’s long-term debt were 3.7% and 3.5% as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

On June 30, 2017, the Company entered into a five-year credit facility consisting of a $1.75 billion revolving credit facility and a $502.5 million term loan, which is due to mature on June 30, 2022 (the "2022 Credit Facility"). This 2022 Credit Facility replaced the Company's $2.1 billion credit facility, which was due to mature in March 2019. The outstanding principal of the term loan portion of the 2022 Credit Facility is repayable in quarterly installments of approximately $6.3 million from September 30, 2017 through June 30, 2020 and approximately $12.6 million from September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2022 with the remainder due upon maturity. The Company determined that effectively extending the maturity date of the revolving credit and repaying the term loan due March 2019 qualified as a debt modification and consequently all unamortized debt issuance costs related to the $2.1 billion credit facility are capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the 2022 Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, either at (i) the Base Rate, which is defined as the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate, plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) rate that would be calculated as of each day in respect of a proposed LIBOR loan with a one-month interest period, plus 1.0%; plus, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (c), an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 0.875% per annum, based on the Company’s credit ratings (as determined by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings Inc.) or (ii) LIBOR plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging between 1.125% and 1.875% per annum, based on the Company’s credit ratings.

The 2022 Credit Facility is unsecured, and contains customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) make certain acquisitions of other entities, (iv) incur liens, (v) dispose of assets, (vi) make non-cash distributions to shareholders, and (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of significant exceptions and limitations. The 2022 Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and a minimum interest coverage ratio during the term of the 2022 Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the 2022 Credit Facility agreement.

The Company has three tranches of Notes, the 4.625% Notes due 2020, the 5.000% Notes due 2023 and the 4.75% Notes due 2025. These Notes are senior unsecured obligations, and prior to June 30, 2017, were guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by certain of the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries (the "guarantor subsidiaries"). Upon the termination of the $2.1 billion credit facility, all guarantor subsidiaries were released from their guarantees under each indenture for each Note. As a result, the Company will no longer be providing supplemental guarantor and non-guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements.

Repayment of the Company’s long term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2017 is as follows:
