The interest rate charged on borrowings from the bank credit facility ranges from nil to 1.25% per annum over the bank prime rate or base rate, or
1.00% to 2.25% over the bankers’ acceptance rate or London Inter-Bank Offered Rate.
Senior Notes
Interest is paid semi-annually on all of our senior notes and debentures. We have the option to redeem each of our senior notes and debentures, in
whole or in part, at any time, if we pay the specified premium.
