In the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Chemetall Surface Treatment business, we repaid the 3.00% Senior notes in full, €307.0 million of the 1.875% Senior notes and $174.7 million of the 4.50% Senior notes, as well as related tender premiums of $45.2 million. As a result, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $52.8 million in Interest and financing expenses on the consolidated statements of income, representing the tender premiums, fees, unamortized discounts and unamortized deferred financings costs from the redemption of these senior notes. Current portion of long-term debt at March 31, 2017 consisted of commercial paper notes with a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 1.54% and a weighted-average maturity of 29 days. The carrying value of our 1.875% Euro-denominated senior notes has been designated as an effective hedge of our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries where the Euro serves as the functional currency, and gains or losses on the revaluation of these senior notes to our reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, losses of $13.7 million and $9.5 million (net of income taxes), respectively, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with the revaluation of these senior notes to our reporting currency.
