(1)Derivative liabilities are recorded in liabilities related to assets held for sale and discontinued operations, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2)Represents two interest-rate swap contracts, which hedge fluctuations in interest payments on variable-rate secured debt due to overall changes in hedged cash flows.
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized financial obligations or assets. Utilizing derivative instruments allows the Company to manage the risk of fluctuations in interest rates related to the potential impact these changes could have on future earnings and forecasted cash flows. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Assuming a one percentage point shift in the underlying interest rate curve, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $1 million.
In conjunction with the sale of the Aegis NNN Portfolio (see Note 5) in December 2020, the Company paid off $6 million of variable rate secured debt and terminated the related interest-rate swap contract.
On June 29, 2018, concurrent with closing the U.K. JV transaction, the Company terminated a cross currency swap contract, which was designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in the U.K. As such, upon deconsolidation of the U.K. Portfolio, the Company reclassified the $6 million loss in other comprehensive income related to the cross currency swap through gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net.
Concurrent with the sale of its remaining interest in the U.K. JV in December 2019 (see Note 9), the Company paid-off the remainder of its GBP-denominated borrowings under the Revolving Facility and terminated its previously-designated net investment hedge.
