Interest rate risk exposure The Company has evaluated the interest rate risk on the RCF, the 2013 Facilities Agreement and the 2015 Facilitiy Agreement and considers the risks associated with floating interest rates on borrowings under its facilities as appropriate. A hypothetical one percentage point increase or decrease in the interest rates applicable to drawings under the 2013 Facilities Agreement, 2015 Facility Agreement and RCF at March 31, 2015 would increase interest expense by approximately $25 million per annum and would decrease the interest expense by approximately $5 million per annum.
