In addition, in April 2019, Silversea Cruises entered into an agreement with Meyer Werft to build two ships of a new generation, known as the Evolution-class. The ships are expected to have an aggregate capacity of approximately 1,200 berths and are expected to enter service in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of our ships on order presented in the table above, not including the two ships placed on order for Silversea Cruises during the reporting lag period, was $10.3 billion, of which we had deposited $614.0 million.
Approximately 55.6% of the aggregate cost was exposed to fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate at June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 14. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments for further information.
In addition, as of June 30, 2019, we have the following agreements in place for new ships on order for our Global Brands, which are contingent upon completion of conditions precedent and financing:

Litigation
We are routinely involved in claims typical within the cruise vacation industry. The majority of these claims are covered by insurance. We believe the outcome of such claims, net of expected insurance recoveries, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations and cash flows.
Other
If any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of our common stock or, subject to certain exceptions, during any 24-month period, a majority of our board of directors is no longer comprised of individuals who were members of our board of directors on the first day of such period, we may be obligated to prepay indebtedness outstanding under our credit facilities, which we may be unable to replace on similar terms. Our public debt securities also contain change of control provisions that would be triggered by a third-party acquisition of greater than 50% of our common stock coupled with a ratings downgrade. If this were to occur, it would have an adverse impact on our liquidity and operations.
