Maturities of outstanding long-term notes and debentures, as of December 31, 2019, and the corresponding weighted-average interest rate scheduled for repayment are as follows:
Credit Facilities General In , we amended our revolving credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) and concurrently entered into a new agreement (the “Five Year Credit Agreement,” and, together with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) such that we now have two $7,500 revolving credit agreements totaling $15,000. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement terminates on December 11, 2021 and the Five Year Credit Agreement terminates on December 11, 2023. No amounts were outstanding under either agreement as of December 31, 2019.
In , we entered into and drew on a $1,300 term loan credit agreement containing (i) a 1.25 year $400 facility due in (BAML Tranche A Facility), (ii) a 2.25 year $400 facility due in (BAML Tranche B Facility), and (iii) a 3.25 year $500 facility due in (BAML Tranche C Facility), with Bank of America, N.A., as agent. repayment had been made under these facilities as of December 31, 2019.
Revolving Credit Agreements The obligations of the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to provide advances will terminate on December 11, 2021, and under the Five Year Credit Agreement to provide advances will terminate on December 11, 2023, unless the commitments are terminated in whole prior to that date. All advances must be repaid no later than the date on which lenders are no longer obligated to make any advances under the applicable Credit Agreement.
Each of the Credit Agreements provides that we and lenders representing more than 50% of the facility amount may agree to extend their commitments under such Credit Agreement for two one-year periods beyond the initial termination date. We have the right to terminate, in whole or in part, amounts committed by the lenders under each of the Credit Agreements in excess of any outstanding advances; however, any such terminated commitments may not be reinstated.
Advances under these agreements would bear interest, at AT&T’s option, either: at a variable annual rate equal to: (1) the highest of (but not less than zero) (a) the rate of interest announced publicly by Citibank in New York, New York, from time to time, as Citibank’s base rate, (b) 0.5% per annum above the federal funds rate, and (c) the London interbank offered rate (or the successor thereto) (“LIBOR”) applicable to dollars for a period of one month plus 1.00%, plus (2) an applicable margin, as set forth in the applicable Credit Agreement (the “Applicable Margin for Base Advances”); or at a rate equal to: (i) LIBOR (adjusted upwards to reflect any bank reserve costs) for a period of one, two, three or six months, as applicable, plus (ii) an applicable margin, as set forth in the applicable Credit Agreement (the “Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances”).
