Outstanding Derivatives
From September through December of 2024, we entered into four forward-starting interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates from the trade date through the forecasted issuance of senior unsecured notes expected to be issued in connection with the refinancing of our senior unsecured notes maturing in the second quarter of 2025. The following tables detail our outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Settled Derivatives
We have entered into, and subsequently settled, the following forward-starting interest rate swap agreements and U.S. Treasury Rate Lock agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates from the trade date through the forecasted issuance of the respective senior unsecured notes. In each case, the derivatives were designated as cash-
flow hedges and, accordingly, the unrealized gain in Accumulated other comprehensive income is amortized over the term of the respective derivative instruments, which matches that of the underlying note, as a reduction in interest expense.
•In connection with our December 2024 Notes offering, we entered into seven forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $350.0 million and five U.S. Treasury Rate Lock agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million, which we settled in December 2024 for total net proceeds of $6.8 million.
•In connection with our March 2024 Notes offering, we entered into seven forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 million, which we settled in March 2024 for total net proceeds of $2.8 million
•In connection with our April 2022 Notes offering, we entered into five forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion and two U.S. Treasury Rate Lock agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 million, which we settled in April 2022 for total net proceeds of $206.8 million.

Net Investment Hedges
In connection with our foreign transactions in Canada and the United Kingdom, we currently have C$188.0 million and £14.5 million, respectively, outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility, which funds were used to reduce the impact of exchange rate variations associated with our investments, and, accordingly, have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in such entities. As non-derivative net investment hedges, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the principal balances are recognized as a cumulative translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $12.9 million in unrealized gains and $6.2 million in unrealized losses, respectively, related to such net investment hedges, which were recorded as a component of Foreign currency translation adjustments in the Statement of Operations.
