Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The following table presents the aggregate carrying value of our mortgage notes payable, net, unsecured senior notes, net, unsecured line of credit, unsecured term loans, net and our corresponding estimate of fair value as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $13.5 billion of these borrowings bore interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. As of December 31, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on our variable rate debt was 4.85% per annum. The following table presents our aggregate debt obligations with corresponding weighted-average GAAP interest rates sorted by maturity date.

The table below does not include our unconsolidated joint venture debt. For a discussion concerning our unconsolidated joint venture debt, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures - Secured Debt.”

At December 31, 2022, the weighted-average coupon/stated rates on the fixed rate debt stated above was 3.51% per annum. At December 31, 2022, our outstanding variable rate debt totaled $730.0 million. At December 31, 2022, the coupon/stated rate on our variable rate debt was approximately 4.85% per annum. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt had been 100 basis points greater, total interest expense would have increased approximately $7.3 million, on an annualized basis, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The fair value amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions, we may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. The discontinuation of LIBOR will not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or hedging transactions, but if our contracts indexed to LIBOR are converted to SOFR, the differences between LIBOR and SOFR, plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest or hedging costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available. Additionally, although SOFR is the recommended replacement rate, it is also possible that lenders may instead choose alternative replacements that may differ from LIBOR in ways similar to SOFR or in ways that would result in higher interest or hedging costs for us. It is not yet possible to predict the magnitude of LIBOR’s end on our borrowing costs given the remaining uncertainty about which rates will replace LIBOR. As of December 31, 2022, each of the agreements governing our variable rate debt, for our consolidated debt, either have been transitioned to SOFR or provide for the replacement of LIBOR if it becomes unavailable during the term of such agreement.
