Derivatives Accounted for as Cash Flow Hedges

The Company’s cash flow hedges include interest rate swaps that are hedges of variability in forecasted interest payments due to changes in the interest rate on SOFR-based borrowings, a summary which includes the following designations:

In 2018, the Company entered into two long-term interest rate swap agreements with a major financial institution. The swaps, which became effective in October 2018 and expire in April 2030, are used to hedge approximately 70% of the variability in interest payments/interest risk on the 2017 Bank Loans (as defined herein).
In 2023, the Company entered into long-term interest rate swap agreements with multiple major financial institutions. This arrangement is used to hedge the variability of the interest payments/interest risk on the Term Loan Facility (as defined herein) and will expire in March 2027. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we paid down a portion of the principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility (as defined herein) and a proportionate amount of the interest rate swaps was settled.
