Derivative Instruments

Interest – During 2011, SPLLC entered into an interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge against variable interest rate exposure on a portion of the construction term loan which established a fixed rate on the LIBOR interest rates specified in the SPLLC construction term loan at 0.832% per annum until June 30, 2014. Notional amounts reset on a monthly basis and did not exceed $261.0 million at any given time. Notional amounts were $261.0 million as of March 31, 2014. This swap agreement terminated on June 30, 2014. We have not entered into any new derivative instruments since the termination of this swap agreement.

This cash flow hedging instrument was recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent the cash flow hedging instrument was effective. The cash flow hedging instrument gains and losses included in other comprehensive income were reclassified into earnings as the underlying transaction occurred. There was no cash flow hedging instrument ineffectiveness recorded for this swap agreement.

The Company reclassified $0.4 million, included in other comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2014 to interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
