Fair Value Measurements

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2023

The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value which have been classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements.

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:

•Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

•Level 3- Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The following tables summarize the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The Company’s investments in Level 1 assets are valued based on publicly available quoted market prices for identical securities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company determines the fair value of Level 2 related securities with the aid of valuations provided by third parties using proprietary valuation models and analytical tools. These valuation models and analytical tools use market pricing or prices for similar instruments that are both objective and publicly available, including matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids and/or offers.

The Company’s long-term investment in ORIC was considered a Level 3 fair value measurement during an eighteen-month lock-up period which required an adjustment for a discount for lack of marketability. During the lock-up period, the fair value measurement utilized a combination of the Asian Protective Put Option and Finnerty Put Option fair value techniques to determine the discount for lack of marketability. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the eighteen-month lock-up period expired, and because ORIC common stock is quoted in an active market, it met the criteria of a Level 1 investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company transferred the investment in ORIC from a Level 3 fair value measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement. See Note 9 for further details on the license agreement with ORIC.

The following table represents the change in estimated fair value of and transfer activity for the Company’s Level 3 investment (in thousands):



Balance as of December 31, 2021	$	8,218

Change in fair value at lock-up expiration	(3,100)
Transfer from Level 3 to Level 1 at lock-up expiration	(5,118)
Balance as of March 31, 2022	$	—

Other than the investment in ORIC described above, there were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
