The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts during the year ended December 31, 2020 in connection with certain transfers of cash between the U.S. and U.K. under the Company’s cash management and foreign currency risk management programs. Foreign currency forward contracts limit the economic risk of changes in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars (“USD”) and British Pounds (“GBP”) associated with cash transfers.

In August 2019, the Company also entered into multiple cross currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of its fixed-rate USD-denominated senior notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate GBP-denominated debt of £538.1 million. During the term of the swap agreements, the Company received semi-annual interest payments in USD from the counterparties at fixed interest rates, and the Company made semi-annual interest payments in GBP to the counterparties at fixed interest rates. The interest payments under the cross-currency swap agreements resulted in £25.4 million of annual cash flows from the Company’s U.K. business being converted to $35.8 million.

In conjunction with the U.K. Sale in January 2021, the Company settled its cross currency swap liability and outstanding forward contracts as shown in investing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows.
