Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Borrowings

In connection with the acquisition of Taminco, Eastman entered into a $1.0 billion five-year Term Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2015, the Term Loan Agreement balance outstanding was $375 million with an interest rate of 1.44 percent. In second quarter 2015, $625 million of the Term Loan Agreement balance was repaid primarily using available cash and proceeds from borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization agreement (the "A/R Facility") and commercial paper. As of December 31, 2014, the Term Loan Agreement balance outstanding was $1.0 billion with an interest rate of 1.41 percent. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates.

The Company has access to a $1.25 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") expiring October 2019. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates and a commitment fee is paid on the total unused commitment. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility provides liquidity support for commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, any outstanding commercial paper borrowings reduce capacity for borrowings available under the Credit Facility. Given the expiration date of the Credit Facility, any commercial paper borrowings supported by the Credit Facility are classified as long-term borrowings because the Company has the ability to refinance such borrowings on a long-term basis and intends, at least over the next twelve months, to maintain commercial paper borrowings at current levels. At June 30, 2015 the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $392 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.50 percent. At December 31, 2014 the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $235 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.47 percent.

In July 2015, the Company amended its $250 million A/R Facility to extend the maturity to April 2018. Borrowings under the A/R Facility are subject to interest rates based on a spread over the lender's borrowing costs, and the Company pays a fee to maintain availability of the A/R Facility. At June 30, 2015 the Company's borrowings under the A/R Facility were $250 million secured by trade receivables with an interest rate of 0.91 percent. At December 31, 2014 the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the A/R Facility. During first quarter 2014, $125 million of the available amount under the A/R Facility was borrowed and then repaid during second quarter 2014.

The Term Loan Agreement, Credit Facility, and the A/R Facility contain a number of customary covenants and events of default, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants for all periods presented. Total available borrowings under the Credit Facility and A/R Facility were $858 million and $1.265 billion as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company would not violate applicable covenants for these periods if the total available amounts of the facilities had been borrowed.

Fair Value of Borrowings

The Company has classified its long-term borrowings at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 under the fair value hierarchy as defined in the accounting policies in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on current market prices and is classified as Level 1. The fair value for the Company's other borrowings, which include the Term Loan Agreement, A/R Facility, commercial paper, and capital leases equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2.
