Credit Facilities
On May 17, 2019, the Company entered into a $1.55 billion senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") 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. At inception, this facility consisted 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 Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including maintenance of ratios as defined in the Credit Agreement for consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") to consolidated debt (the "Total Leverage Ratio") and EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (the "Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio"). As of September 2021, the maximum Total Leverage Ratio was 4.00 to 1.00 and the minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 3.00 to 1.00, both as measured over the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters. In addition, beginning with the fiscal year ended December 2020, the Company is subject to additional mandatory repayments on Term Loan B if excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, exceeds a specified threshold. As of September 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and expects to maintain compliance with the financial covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
Short-term Borrowings
At September 2021, December 2020 and September 2020, the Company had $10.1 million, $35.9 million and $39.1 million, of borrowing availability under international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either the Company or the banks. Short-term borrowings outstanding under these arrangements were $0.2 million and $0.1 million at December 2020 and September 2020, respectively, and primarily consisted of letters of credit that are non-interest bearing to the Company. There were no outstanding balances under these arrangements at September 2021. In addition, short-term borrowings at September 2021 and December 2020 included other debt of $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

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. As of September 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $12.3 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company, leaving $487.7 million available for borrowing against this facility.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A is either a base rate plus a margin or the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin, at the Company's election. The applicable margin varies from 37.5 to 125 basis points for base rate loans and from 137.5 to 225 basis points for LIBOR loans. The Company is also required to pay a facility fee to the lenders, varying from 20 to 40 basis points of the undrawn amount of the facility. The applicable margins and facility fee are subject to adjustments based on the Company's credit ratings and Total Leverage Ratio.
Additionally, the interest rate per annum applicable to Term Loan B is either a base rate plus a margin of 325 basis points or the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin of 425 basis points, at the Company's election.
The LIBOR rate for all loans under the Credit Facility is subject to a "floor" of 0%. Interest payments on all loans under the Credit Facility are due at least quarterly, and could be due more frequently based on the Company's interest rate elections.
Term Loan A had an outstanding principal amount of $665.0 million at September 2021, and $700.0 million at both December 2020 and September 2020, which is recorded net of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of September 2021, interest expense on Term Loan A was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 2.6%, including the remaining amortization of deferred financing costs and the impact of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.
Term Loan B had an outstanding principal amount of $133.0 million at September 2021, and $223.0 million at both December 2020 and September 2020, which is recorded net of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs. As of September 2021, interest expense on Term Loan B was being recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 5.5%, including the remaining amortization of original issue discount, deferred financing costs and the impact of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.
In addition, during the nine months ended September 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $1.9 million due to accelerated amortization of original issue discount and debt issuance costs associated with early repayments on term loans under our Credit Facilities.
