In fiscal year 2012, we entered into a syndicated $625 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility is used for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and share repurchases. The term is five years and will expire in April 2017. The Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies and letters of credit, in each case up to specified sublimits.

We borrowed $585.0 million and $605.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We also had approximately $24 million and $14 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility as of the respective dates. We repaid the entire amount borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility subsequent to the respective fiscal year ends. We have classified these borrowings as short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets because they were repaid subsequent to the respective fiscal year-ends.

The Revolving Credit Facility fees are determined based on a pricing grid that varies according to our leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility fee ranges from 25 to 40 basis points. Incremental fees for borrowings under the facility generally range from LIBOR + 125 to 185 basis points. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding short-term borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at both August 31, 2014 and 2013 was 3.5%.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains various customary representations, covenants and other provisions, including a material adverse event clause and the following financial covenants: maximum leverage ratio, minimum interest and rent expense coverage ratio, and U.S. Department of Education financial responsibility composite score requirements. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility at August 31, 2014 and 2013.

Other debt principally includes debt at subsidiaries of Apollo Global and the present value of an obligation payable over a 10-year period associated with our purchase of technology in fiscal year 2012. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding other debt at August 31, 2014 and 2013 was 5.8% and 5.3%, respectively.

The carrying value of our debt, excluding capital leases, approximates fair value based on the nature of our debt, which includes consideration of the portion that is variable-rate.
