The interest rate on the term loan is equal to LIBOR plus a ratings based margin; however, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on the the entire $300 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.824% (see note 5). The proceeds of the term loan were used to repay a $300 million Equity One term loan that came due as a result of the merger.
