At September 30, 2020, the Company had a $1,750,000,000 revolving variable rate unsecured credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the “Credit Facility”) which matures in February 2024. The Credit Facility bears interest at varying levels based on (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) applicable to the period of borrowing for a particular draw of funds from the facility (e.g., one month to maturity, three months to maturity, etc.) and (ii) the rating levels issued for our unsecured notes. The current stated pricing for drawn borrowings is LIBOR plus 0.775% per annum (0.92% at September 30, 2020), assuming a one month borrowing rate. The annual facility fee is 0.125% (or approximately $2,188,000 annually based on the $1,750,000,000 facility size and based on the Company's current credit rating).

The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company had $3,752,000 and $11,488,000 outstanding in letters of credit that reduced the borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company had $31,822,000 and $24,939,000 outstanding in additional letters of credit on a separate facility unrelated to the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

In the aggregate, secured notes payable mature at various dates from April 2021 through July 2066, and are secured by certain apartment communities (with a net carrying value of $1,455,524,000, excluding communities classified as held for sale, as of September 30, 2020).

The weighted average interest rate of the Company's fixed rate secured notes payable (conventional and tax-exempt) was 3.8% and 3.9% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of the Company's variable rate secured notes payable (conventional and tax-exempt) including the effect of certain financing related fees, was 1.7% and 3.2% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
