See “Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments” in our condensed notes to consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our prior interest rate cap.

−Removed: In the U.S., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), which was convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a recommended spread adjustment as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR.
−Removed: There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured rate, and SOFR is an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities.
+Added: Amounts borrowed under our Amended Facility bear interest at a variable rate based on SOFR plus an applicable SOFR margin.
+Added: The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our Amended Facility was 2.8% as of June 30, 2022.
+Added: If the SOFR rate were to fluctuate by 0.25%, interest expense would increase or decrease, depending on rate movement, future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.3 million annually on the total of the outstanding balances on our Amended Facility as of June 30, 2022.
We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023.
As a result, any of our LIBOR-based borrowings that extend beyond such date will need to be converted to a replacement rate.
−Removed: Certain risks may arise in connection with transitioning contracts to SOFR or any other alternative variable rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur.
−Removed: The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted.
−Removed: The Facility, which we entered into in August 2021, provides for the replacement of LIBOR if it becomes unavailable during the term of the Facility.
−Removed: However, for some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require substantial negotiation with each respective counterparty.
If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative variable rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact is likely to vary by contract.
−Removed: The discontinuation of LIBOR will not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but if our contracts indexed to LIBOR, including certain contracts governing our variable rate debt and our interest rate swaps, are converted to SOFR, the differences between LIBOR and SOFR, plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available.
+Added: As of June 30, 2022, each of the agreements governing our variable rate debt either have been transitioned to SOFR or provide for the replacement of LIBOR if it becomes unavailable during the term of such agreement.
+Added: The discontinuation of LIBOR will not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but as our contracts indexed to LIBOR are converted to SOFR, the differences between LIBOR and SOFR, plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available.
Additionally, although SOFR is the ARRC’s recommended replacement rate, it is also possible that lenders may instead choose alternative replacement rates that may differ from LIBOR in ways similar to SOFR or in ways that would result in higher interest costs for us.
