Our total indebtedness, at par, at June 30, 2024 was $1.9 billion and includes $500.0 million of our 2026 Notes, $450.0 million of our 2027 Notes, $300.0 million of our 2027 Mirror Notes and $206.0 million of our IPv4 Notes. The 2026 Notes are due in March 2026 and require interest payments of $17.5 million per year, the 2027 Notes are due in June 2027 and require interest payments of $31.5 million per year, and the 2027 Mirror Notes are due in June 2027 and require interest payments of $21.0 million per year, each paid semi-annually. The IPv4 Notes are effectively due in May 2029 and require monthly interest payments of $16.3 million per year (which amount increases if the IPv4 Notes are not repaid prior to May 2029). All of our noteholders have the right to be paid the principal and any applicable premium upon an event of default and upon certain designated events, such as certain changes of control. Our total indebtedness at June 30, 2024 includes $426.4 million of finance lease obligations for dark fiber primarily under 15 to 42-year IRUs. Our total indebtedness at June 30, 2024 excludes $370.8 million of operating lease liabilities, which were required to be recorded as right-to-use assets and operating lease liabilities. The amount of our IRU finance lease obligations may be impacted due to our expansion activities, the timing of payments and fluctuations in foreign currency rates.
