We expect to repay the 2018 Euro Term Loan with the expected proceeds from the Divestment Transaction and have dedesignated the related hedging instruments during the third quarter of 2017. Dedesignation precludes recognition of the effective portion of the changes in fair value within accumulated other comprehensive income / loss. All related changes in fair value and those previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income / loss are recognized in other non-operating income, net in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income / loss. See Note 14, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements".
