On September 17, 2013, the Company entered into a foreign exchange forward contract with a third-party financial institution used to minimize foreign exchange risk on our potential future cash commitment related to the proposed acquisition of Fiberweb anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2013. As the nature of this transaction is related to a non-operating notional amount, changes in fair value of the Bridge Loan Contract of $2.9 million are included in other non-operating income (expense) in the current period.
