[1] Based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates.

[2] Level 1 and 2 are based on quoted futures exchanges and on observable prices of futures and options transactions in the marketplace. Level 3 is based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires management’s own assumptions within an internally developed model.

[3] Based on LIBOR and equity index swap rates.

[4] Based on the fair value of the participants’ investments.

[5] Primarily represents investments in equity securities that are not readily marketable and are accounted for under the fair value option. The investments were funded by Acre. Prior to April 26, 2020, fair value was based on analyzing recent transactions and transactions of comparable companies, and the discounted cash flow method. In addition, allocation methods, including the option pricing method, were used in distributing fair value among various equity holders according to rights and preferences. We entered into an agreement to sell our interest in Acre on April 26, 2020, and completed the sale on May 8, 2020. As a result of the pending sale, we adjusted the fair value based on the proceeds and reclassified the assets to assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 14 for additional information.
