DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company's credit facility exposes the Company to risks associated with the variability in interest expense associated with fluctuations in LIBOR. To partially mitigate this risk, the Company entered into interest rate swaps. As of March 29, 2020, the Company had a combined notional principal amount of $200.0 million of interest rate swap agreements, all of which are designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements effectively convert the interest expense associated with a portion of the Company's variable rate debt from variable interest rates to fixed interest rates and have maturities ranging from February 2022 to March 2022.
