DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In February 2021, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with a member of the bank syndicate as the counterparty. The Company entered into the interest rate cap agreement to mitigate the variable interest rate risk associated with its outstanding mortgage borrowings.
The Company designated the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedge, and the effective portion of the hedge is reflected as a component of other comprehensive income. The interest rate cap has the same maturity date as the Amended Mortgage Loan and has an amortizing notional amount that was $60,767 as of March 31, 2021. The interest rate cap agreement requires the counterparty to pay the Company an amount equal to the applicable notional amount multiplied by the rate by which the LIBOR index exceeds a 1% strike rate during the period.
The Company assesses the effectiveness of the interest rate cap on a quarterly basis and at March 31, 2021, the Company has determined that the interest rate cap was effective. Accordingly, the gain or loss related to the change in fair value of the interest rate cap is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The fair value of the interest rate cap of $78 at March 31, 2021 was included in other noncurrent assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In conjunction with the refinancing of its outstanding borrowings during October 2020, the Company terminated its interest rate swap and incurred a loss of $177. Following the termination, $90 was recorded in other comprehensive income and was reclassified as an adjustment to earnings over the remaining term of the original hedge. Of this amount, $38 was recorded as a decrease to retained earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:
