(1) The Company has elected to account for its exchangeable senior debentures using the fair value option. Changes in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to the change in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive income. The change in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk before tax was a gain of $38 million and a loss of $14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses, and gains of $23 million and $47 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $9 million of previously unrecognized gains related to the retirement of a portion of the 3.125% Debentures due 2053. The cumulative change was a gain of $79 million as of September 30, 2024, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses.
