The revolving credit facility matures on December 13, 2021. On June 3, 2019, the Company further amended its revolving credit facility to, among other things, allow the Company to designate certain of its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries and to include LIBOR replacement provisions.

On November 25, 2019, the borrowing base under the Company's revolving credit facility was reduced to $1.2 billion, and the Company's elected commitment remained at $1.0 billion.
As of December 31, 2019, $120.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the total availability for future borrowings under this facility, after giving effect to an aggregate of $243.6 million of letters of credit, was $636.4 million.

At December 31, 2019, amounts borrowed under the credit facility bore interest at a weighted average rate of 3.30%.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2019.
