(1)During the year ended December 31, 2021, SEE made investments totaling $8.0 million, in another company's convertible debt. Based on information available to SEE specific to the investee and our expectations of recoverability at that time, we recorded a credit loss resulting in an $8.0 million impairment (establishment of allowance) of the convertible debt investment during the fourth quarter of 2021. The total allowance for credit losses related to the remaining available-for-sale debt securities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was zero.
