On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“Swap Agreements”), which are designed to mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk associated with our variable rate debt. The Swap Agreements cover an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million from March 2016 to September 2019 by replacing the obligation’s variable rate with a blended fixed rate of 0.89%. The Company designated the Swap Agreements as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of Swap Agreements is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of the Swap Agreements is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not incur any hedge ineffectiveness.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the Swap Agreements will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that an additional $0.3 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense during the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2016, the Swap Agreements are still outstanding. The table below presents the notional and fair value of the Swap Agreements as well as their classification on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016:

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has not posted any collateral related to the Swap Agreements. If the Company had breached any of the Swap Agreement’s default provisions at June 30, 2016, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the Swap Agreements at their termination value of $0.6 million.
