(1) Represents the date specified in the agreement for either optional or mandatory early termination by the counterparty, which will result in cash settlement. The Company has the option to terminate and settle at any date prior to this. (2) Derivatives in an asset position are included within Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, while those in a liability position are included within Accounts payable and other liabilities. (3) In 2014, the Company entered into $220 million of forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate on new fixed rate ten year debt that the Company expected to issue in June 2017 for the specific purpose of repaying at maturity the $300 million of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2017. These interest rate swaps locked in a weighted average fixed rate of 3.48%, before the Company's credit spread. These swaps were settled subsequent to June 30, 2016, as further described below. These derivative financial instruments are all interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and, as of June 30, 2016, does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. The Company has master netting agreements; however, the Company does not have multiple derivatives subject to a single master netting agreement with the same counterparties. Therefore, none are offset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings within Interest expense, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table represents the effect of the derivative financial instruments on the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

As of June 30, 2016, the Company expects $10.0 million of net deferred losses on derivative instruments accumulated in Other comprehensive income to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months, of which $8.4 million is related to previously settled swaps. Hedge Settlement - Subsequent Event Subsequent to June 30, 2016, the Company initiated and completed a $400 million equity offering, as further described in note 7, for the primary purpose of funding the early redemption of $300 million of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due on June 15, 2017. The Company also used $40.6 million from the net offering proceeds to settle $220 million of forward starting swaps related to new debt expected to be issue in 2017 to repay the notes at maturity. As a result of the equity offering, the Company now believes that the issuance of new fixed rate debt within the remaining period of the forward starting swaps is probable not to occur. Accordingly, the Company will cease hedge accounting and reclassify the amount paid to settle the forward starting swaps from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings during the third quarter of 2016.
