Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company has agreed to pay Bank of America a fixed interest rate of 3.646%, and Bank of America has agreed to pay the Company a floating interest rate equivalent to one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") on a notional amount of $150 million for a period beginning on March 17, 2023 and ending on November 17, 2027. The parties will settle differences between the fixed rate and the floating rate on a monthly basis.

The economic effect of the interest rate swap is to convert the portion of variable interest payable on $150 million of the Company's outstanding debt to an effective fixed rate.
