On July 20, 2017, our wholly owned UK subsidiary drew €150 million in revolving loan borrowings and $280 million in term loan borrowings under our credit facility.  In order to mitigate the currency risk of U.S. dollar debt on a Euro functional currency entity and to mitigate the risk of variability in interest rates, Aptar also entered into a EUR/USD floating-to-fixed cross currency swap on July 20, 2017 to effectively hedge the foreign exchange and interest rate exposure on the $280 million bank term loan.
