Note 12 - Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative transactions or purposes other than mitigation of interest rate risk. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with quality credit ratings. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

 

On August 10, 2023, as previously disclosed, the GIP Borrower entered into a Loan Agreement with Valley pursuant to which Valley made a loan to the Company in the amount of $21.0 million to finance the acquisition of the Modiv Portfolio. The outstanding principal amount of the loan bears interest at an annual rate for each 30-day interest period equal to the compounded average of the secured overnight financing rate published by Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the thirty-day period prior to the last day of each 30-day interest rate for the applicable interest rate period plus 3.25%, with interest payable monthly after each 30-day interest period. To mitigate interest rate risk, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate at 7.47% per annum.

 

This derivative financial instrument is an interest rate swap which is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and, as of September 30, 2023, does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). As of September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a derivative asset in Escrow deposits and other assets and corresponding gain in Other comprehensive income of $78,969.

 

The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. All inputs are considered Level 3 inputs.
