Line of Credit and Commercial Paper

On November 1, 2019, the Company replaced its existing $2.0 billion facility with a $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility maturing November 1, 2024.  The Company has the ability to increase available borrowings by an additional $750.0 million by adding lenders to the facility, obtaining the agreement of existing lenders to increase their commitments or incurring one or more term loans.  The interest rate on advances under the facility will generally be LIBOR plus a spread (currently 0.775%), or based on bids received from the lending group, and the Company pays an annual facility fee (currently 0.125%).  Both the spread and the facility fee are dependent on the Company’s senior unsecured credit rating.  The weighted average interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company has an unsecured commercial paper note program in the United States.  On November 4, 2019, the Company increased the maximum aggregate amount outstanding for the commercial paper program from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion.  The notes will be sold under customary terms in the United States commercial paper note market subject to market conditions and will rank pari passu with all of the Company’s other unsecured senior indebtedness.  The notes bear interest at various floating rates with a weighted average interest rate of 1.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The weighted average amount outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $522.7 million.

The Company limits its utilization of the revolving credit facility in order to maintain liquidity to support its $1.0 billion commercial paper program along with certain other obligations.  The following table presents the availability on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2020 (amounts in thousands):
