10. HEDGING

The Company has certain forward rate agreements to hedge foreign currency exposure of expected future cash flows in foreign currency. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. All changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized as other (expense) income in the Consolidated Statements of Loss and are classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy. The derivative instruments are not subject to master netting agreements and are not offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward exchange contracts and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 41 forward rate contracts outstanding.

Foreign Currency Hedging Arrangements

On November 3, 2022, the Company entered into a euro/U.S. dollar forward contract arrangement ("Initial Forward") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Hedge Counterparty”). The Initial Forward, which is governed by the provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement (including schedules thereto and transaction confirmations that supplement such agreement) entered into between the Company and the Hedge Counterparty, enabled the Company to convert a portion of its euro denominated payment obligations under the proposed DPLTA into U.S. Dollars. Under the Initial Forward, the Company agreed to exchange an aggregate notional amount of €160.0 million converted to U.S. dollars at a daily fixed forward rate ranging from EUR/USD 0.98286 to 1.03290. The aggregate amount of €160.0 million was divided into eight quarterly tranches of €20.0 million, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company settled three €20.0 million forward contract tranches, leaving the remaining tranche of €20.0 million to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company, at its sole discretion, may exchange all or part of each tranche on any given day within the applicable quarter; provided, however, that it must exchange the full tranche by the end of such quarter. The Initial Forward may be accelerated or terminated early for a number of reasons, including but not limited to (i) non-payment by the Company or the Hedge Counterparty, (ii) breach of representation or warranty or covenant by either party or (iii) insolvency or bankruptcy of either party.

On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into a euro/U.S. dollar forward contract arrangements (“Forward”) with the Hedge Counterparty. Under the Forward, which is governed by the provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement (including schedules thereto and transaction confirmations that supplement such agreement) entered into between the Company and the Hedge Counterparty, the Company exchanged an aggregate notional amount of €160.0 million converted to U.S. dollars at an average rate of EUR/USD 1.085. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company settled three $20.0 million forward contract tranches, leaving the remaining tranche of $20.0 million to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2024. These forward contracts were executed to sell EUR and to buy USD and were entered into for the purpose of unwinding the Initial Forward to buy EUR and to sell USD. The drawdown dates of the Initial Forward are set to the same date as the maturity of the offsetting Forward.
