On October 22, 2018, as a result of the acquisition of Supervalu, the Company assumed a pay fixed and receive floating interest rate swap agreement originally entered into by Supervalu to effectively convert $300 million of its variable rate debt to a fixed rate by swapping the variable LIBOR rate component to a fixed rate of 2.0075%. The Company entered into a novation agreement with the counterparty to novate this agreement to the Company, keeping it in place through its scheduled maturity date of March 2019. This interest rate swap contract was kept in place to fix the underlying variability in expected interest payment cash outflows on $300 million notional amount of its LIBOR based debt. This interest rate swap contract is not designated as a hedging instrument as of October 27, 2018, and as such gains or losses resulting from the change in fair value of the contract are reported as Interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

In June 2016, the Company entered into four pay fixed and receive floating interest rate swap contracts to effectively fix the underlying variability in expected interest payment cash outflows on its LIBOR based debt. The agreements were effective in June 2016 and expire at varied dates between June 2019 and April 2021. These interest rate swap contracts have an aggregate notional principal amount of $150 million and require the Company to pay interest payments during the duration of the respective contracts at fixed annual rates between 0.7265% and 1.0650%, while receiving interest for the same respective contract periods at one-month LIBOR on the same aggregate notional principal amounts.
(3)
On January 23, 2015, the Company entered into two pay fixed and receive floating interest rate swap contracts with effective dates in August 2015, which expire in August 2022. The interest rate swap contracts have amortizing notional amounts which adjust down on a quarterly basis. These interest rate swap contracts require the Company to pay interest payments during the duration of the respective contracts at fixed annual rates of 1.7950%, while receiving interest for the same respective contract periods at one-month LIBOR on the same aggregate notional principal amounts.
(4)

These interest rate swap contracts have an aggregate notional principal amount of $350 million and require the Company to pay interest payments during the duration of the respective contracts at fixed annual rates between 2.8240% and 2.9550%, while receiving interest for the same respective contract periods at one-month LIBOR on the same aggregate notional principal amounts.
