Warrants and Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Company determined that the warrants discussed in Note 2, issued in connection with the IPO, should be classified as liabilities when outstanding. Changes in the fair values of these instruments were reflected as adjustments to the amount of the recorded liabilities and the corresponding gain or loss was recorded in the Company’s statement of operations within “Gain (loss) on derivatives”. At the date of the conversion of each warrant or portion thereof, or exercise of the warrants or portion thereof, as the case may be, the corresponding liability was reclassified as equity. On February 16, 2010 the Company announced an Offer to Exchange common stock for outstanding warrants. The exchange offer expired on March 17, 2010. There were 8.3 million publicly held warrants (issued in connection with the IPO) and 1.1 million privately held warrants remaining after the exchange and the warrants expired on April 11, 2011. The Company recorded a realized gain of $0.1 million as a result of the expiration. The Company used derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk and had previously designated an interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of interest expense related to variable-rate long-term debt. To the extent this hedging relationship was effective; changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap were recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”). Amounts were reclassified from AOCL to interest expense in the period when the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. As a result of the extinguishment of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2012, forecasted cash flows associated with the hedged variable-rate debt interest payments were concluded to no longer be probable. Consequently, $0.1 million recorded in AOCL relating to the hedging relationship was reclassified to interest expense. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a single interest rate swap liability outstanding with a fair market value of $0.3 million classified in Derivative Liabilities. This swap had a notional value of $15.6 million as of December 31, 2011. The Company measured the fair value of its interest rate swap using Level 2 fair value measurement inputs which are observable in the market. There were no reclassifications between fair value measurement levels during the periods ended December 31, 2012 or 2011. The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the derivative designated as hedging instruments recorded in AOCL and earnings during the years ended December 31 (in thousands):
