Schedule of Interest Rate Swap Agreements [Table Text Block] | The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements designed with the intended effect of converting notional amounts of its variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreements, for the outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the one-month London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is eliminated and the Company pays a fixed rate plus the current applicable margin. The following interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during 2018, 2017 and 2016:
The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swap that commenced in February 2018 and the interest rate swaps that will commence in February 2019 will be adjusted according to pre-set schedules during the terms of the swap agreements such that, based on the Company’s projections for future debt repayments, the Company’s outstanding debt under the 2016 facilities is expected to always equal or exceed the combined notional amount of the then-outstanding interest rate swaps. |
