DEBT FINANCING | DEBT FINANCING The Company's outstanding debt as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
(1)Represents the effective interest rate as of September 30, 2023. Effective interest rate incorporates the stated rate plus the impact of interest rate cash flow hedges and discount and premium amortization, if applicable. $25.0 million of Tranche B, $100.0 million of Tranche C, and $5.0 million of Tranche E are subject to variable interest rates, which is reflected in the effective interest rate. For the revolving line of credit, the effective interest rate excludes fees for unused borrowings.
On January 3, 2023, the Company's operating partnership, as borrower, certain of its subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, and the Company entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders which expanded the total borrowing capacity of its credit facility by $405.0 million to $1.955 billion with an expansion feature to expand the total borrowing capacity to $2.5 billion. The maturity date of the revolving line of credit (the "Revolver") is now January 2027, while the total borrowing capacity of the Revolver was increased to $950.0 million from $650.0 million. In connection with the credit facility recast, the $125.0 million tranche A term loan facility (the "Term Loan A") due January 2023 was eliminated by the Company, tranche B term loan facility (the "Term Loan B") increased from $250.0 million to $275.0 million, tranche C term loan facility (the "Term Loan C") increased from $225.0 million to $325.0 million, tranche D term loan facility (the "Term Loan D") increased from $175.0 million to $275.0 million, tranche E term loan facility (the "Term Loan E") increased from $125.0 million to $130.0 million, and the Company eliminated the $175.0 million term loan facility due in June 2023. In connection with the credit facility recast, effective January 3, 2023, all of our LIBOR-based interest rate swaps were converted into SOFR-based interest rate swaps.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $6.4 million and would have had the capacity to borrow remaining Revolver commitments of $131.6 million while remaining in compliance with the credit facility's financial covenants. At September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
