Money market funds were valued by the Company using quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, which represent a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

On July 6, 2020, the Company issued a non-transferrable CVR, which was distributed to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 6, 2020, and prior to the issuance of any shares to acquire Kiq or sold to the PIPE investors. Holders of the CVR are entitled to receive common shares and/or cash payments from proceeds received by the Company, if any, related to the disposition of its legacy cell therapy assets for a period of three years from July 2020. In accordance with the terms of the CVR agreement, the payment to CVR holders will be made in shares or cash, depending on the timing of the receipt of the sales proceeds by the Company. For sales proceeds received by the Company prior to December 31, 2020, CVR holders were entitled to receive payment in the form of common shares of the Company. For sales proceeds received by the Company after December 31, 2020 and prior to July 2023, CVR holders are entitled to receive payment in cash.

The Company classifies the CVR as a liability on its consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the CVR liability was determined using the probability weighted discounted cash flow method to estimate future cash flows associated with the sale of the legacy cell therapy assets, including the BOXR platform, ACTR platform and other fixed assets based on assumptions at the date of the CVR issuance and each subsequent quarterly period end, less certain permitted deductions. For sales proceeds received by the Company prior to December 31, 2020, the number of common shares to be received by CVR holders was determined by dividing the proceeds received by the Company by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on July 6, 2020 of $8.80. The closing price of the Company’s common stock at each measurement date through February 2021 was used to determine the fair value of the share payments included in the CVR liability. The liability measured at the date of CVR issuance was recorded as a common stock dividend, returning capital to the legacy stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 6, 2020. Changes in fair value of the liability are recognized as a component of Other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The CVR liability was valued based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. On August 28, 2020, the Company sold the BOXR Platform and subsequently sold additional fixed assets, triggering a payment to CVR holders. In November 2020, the Company issued 707,938 CVR shares of common stock in partial settlement of the CVR liability. In February 2021, the Company issued an additional 212,429 shares of common stock and paid $0.1 million in partial settlement of the CVR liability. Any settlement of the remaining CVR liability will be a cash settlement.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s CVR liability (in thousands):
