Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or overall debt levels. It specifically details the terms of new derivative instruments:
- Notional Amount: $100.0 million
- Fixed Rate Payment: 2.002% (monthly)
- Floating Rate Reference: LIBOR
- Effective Date: June 1, 2019

Material Changes
The Company entered into interest rate swaps to fix a portion of its floating rate indebtedness. This action is intended to mitigate interest rate risk without incurring the substantial prepayment penalties or defeasance costs typically associated with converting to fixed-rate indebtedness directly.
Outlook and Management Commentary
Management executed these swaps to stabilize interest expense on a portion of the debt portfolio. Beginning July 1, 2019, the Company will make fixed monthly payments while receiving floating rate payments based on LIBOR from the counterparties. The filing does not provide updated financial guidance or discuss other risks beyond the specific hedging strategy.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total amount of the Company's floating rate indebtedness to assess the significance of the $100 million hedge.
- Review the Company's most recent 10-Q or 10-K for current liquidity positions and total debt obligations.
- Confirm the current LIBOR rate environment to estimate the net cash flow impact of the swap starting July 1, 2019.
- Check for any credit default risks associated with the counterparties (KeyBank and SunTrust).
