Revolving Credit Facility and Overdrafts

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, our revolving credit facility and overdrafts consisted of the following:

	2023		2022
Revolving credit facility 4.84% to 6.46%	$	80,662	$	—
Overdrafts 0.30% to 5.99%	1,132		3,810
	$	81,794	$	3,810

On June 30, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") with a syndicate of banks to replace the then-existing facility maturing July 2022 (the "prior credit facility") and to amend and restate the unsecured term loan facility extended to our wholly-owned UK subsidiary under the prior credit facility (as amended, the "amended term facility"). The revolving credit facility matures in June 2026, subject to a maximum of two one-year extensions in certain circumstances, and provides for unsecured financing of up to $600 million available in the U.S. and to our wholly-owned UK subsidiary. The amended term facility matured in July 2022 and was repaid in full. The revolving credit facility can be drawn in various currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and CHF to the equivalent of $600 million, which may be increased by up to $300 million subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of December 31, 2023, $36.5 million and €40.0 million ($44.2 million) was utilized under the revolving credit facility in the U.S. and no balance was utilized by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary. As of December 31, 2022, no balance was utilized under the revolving credit facility in the U.S. and no balance was utilized by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary.

There are no compensating balance requirements associated with our revolving credit facility. Each borrowing under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at rates based on SOFR (in the case of USD), EURIBOR (in the case of EUR), SONIA (in the case of GBP), SARON (in the case of CHF), prime rates or other similar rates, in each case plus an applicable margin. In May 2023, the revolving credit facility was amended to make SOFR the default borrowing rate for USD. The revolving credit facility also provides mechanics relating to a transition away from designated benchmark rates for other available currencies and the replacement of any such applicable benchmark by a replacement alternative benchmark rate or mechanism for loans made in the applicable currency. A facility fee on the total amount of the revolving credit facility is also payable quarterly, regardless of usage. The applicable margins for borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the facility fee percentage may change from time to time depending on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio. We incurred approximately $3.9 million and $1.2 million in interest and fees related to our credit facility and money market borrowing arrangement during 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Average borrowings under the revolving credit facility and money market borrowing arrangement were $60.5 million and $38.5 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively. The average annual interest rate on the revolving credit facility and money market borrowing arrangement was 5.2% and 1.2% for 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In October 2020, we entered into an unsecured money market borrowing arrangement to provide short term financing of up to $30 million that is available in the U.S. No borrowing on this facility is permitted over a quarter end date. As such, no balance was utilized under this arrangement as of December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness.
