Credit Facilities
On May 17, 2019, the Company entered into a $1.55 billion senior secured credit facility under which it incurred $1.05 billion of indebtedness, the proceeds of which were used primarily to finance a cash transfer to VF in connection with the Separation. This facility consists of a five-year $750.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”), a seven-year $300.0 million term loan B facility (“Term Loan B”) and a five-year $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) with the lenders and agents party thereto.
The Credit Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including maintenance of a consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to consolidated debt and interest ratios. If the Company fails to comply with any covenants, the lenders may terminate their obligation to make advances and declare any outstanding obligations to be immediately due and payable. As of September 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to borrow funds in both U.S. dollar and certain non-U.S. dollar currencies, and has a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit. The Revolving Credit Facility had $1.3 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company as of September 2019, leaving $498.7 million available for borrowing against this facility. The Company expects to utilize the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time to provide working capital and funds for general corporate purposes.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are priced at a credit spread of 175 basis points over the appropriate LIBOR benchmark for each currency, or 75 basis points over the base rate for each currency, at the Company's election. The Company is also required to pay a facility fee to the lenders, currently equal to 30 basis points of the undrawn amount of the facility. The credit spread and facility fee are subject to adjustments based on the Company's credit ratings.
The Company has $47.5 million of international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either the Company or the banks. Total outstanding balances under these arrangements were $6.0 million, $3.2 million and $5.6 million at September 2019, December 2018 and September 2018, respectively.
