Revolving Credit Facilities
On April21, 2008, the Company replaced its existing $500million unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate of $3billion of unsecured credit facilities and borrowed $2billion to finance the cash portion of the Grant Prideco acquisition. These facilities consisted of a $2 billion, five-year revolving credit facility and a $1billion, 364-day revolving credit facility which was terminated early in February2009. At March31, 2010, there were no borrowings against the remaining credit facility, and there were $584million in outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility, resulting in $1,416million of funds available under this revolving credit facility. Interest under this multicurrency facility is based upon LIBOR, NIBOR or EURIBOR plus 0.26% subject to a ratings-based grid, or the prime rate.
The Company also had $1,808million of additional outstanding letters of credit at March31, 2010, primarily in Norway, that are essentially under various bilateral committed letter of credit facilities. Other letters of credit are issued as bid bonds and performance bonds. The Senior Notes contain reporting covenants and the credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt to capitalization. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March31, 2010.
