Financial Instruments [Abstract]  
Financial Instruments Financial Instruments
The Group’s financial instruments consist of financial assets in the form of notes, convertible notes and investment in shares, and financial liabilities, including preferred shares. Many of these financial instruments are presented at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded through profit and loss.
Fair Value Process
For financial instruments measured at fair value under IFRS 9, the change in the fair value is reflected through profit and loss. Using the guidance in IFRS 13, the total business enterprise value and allocable equity of each entity being valued can be determined using a market backsolve approach through a recent arm’s length financing round (or a future probable arm's length transaction), market/asset probability-weighted expected return method ("PWERM") approach, discounted cash flow approach, or hybrid approaches. The approaches, in order of strongest fair value evidence, are detailed as follows:
Valuation MethodDescription
Market – BacksolveThe market backsolve approach benchmarks the original issue price (OIP) of the company’s latest funding transaction as current value.
Market/Asset – PWERMUnder a PWERM, the company value is based upon the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns, considering each of the possible future outcomes available to the enterprise. Possible future outcomes can include IPO scenarios, potential SPAC transactions, merger and acquisition transactions as well as other similar exit transactions of the investee.
Income Based – DCF
The income approach is used to estimate fair value based on the income streams, such as cash flows or earnings, that an asset or business can be expected to generate.
At each measurement date, investments held at fair value (that are not publicly traded) as well as the fair value of preferred share liabilities, including embedded conversion rights that are not bifurcated, were determined using the following allocation methods: option pricing model (“OPM”), PWERM, or hybrid allocation framework. The methods are detailed as follows:
Allocation MethodDescription
OPM
The OPM model treats preferred stock as call options on the enterprise’s equity value, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences of the preferred stock.
PWERMUnder a PWERM, share value is based upon the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns, considering each of the possible future outcomes available to the enterprise, as well as the rights of each share class.
Hybrid
The hybrid method is a combination of the PWERM and OPM. Under the hybrid method, multiple liquidity scenarios are weighted based on the probability of the scenario's occurrence, similar to the PWERM, while also utilizing the OPM to estimate the allocation of value in one or more of the scenarios.
Valuation policies and procedures are regularly monitored by the Group. Fair value measurements, including those categorized within Level 3, are prepared and reviewed for reasonableness and compliance with the fair value measurements guidance under IFRS accounting standards. The Group measures fair value using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
Fair Value
Hierarchy Level
Description
Level 1Inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3
Inputs that are unobservable. This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instruments' valuation.
Whilst the Group considers the methodologies and assumptions adopted in fair value measurements as supportable and reasonable, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed.
Subsidiary Preferred Shares Liability and Subsidiary Convertible Notes
The following table summarizes the changes in the Group’s subsidiary preferred shares and convertible notes liabilities measured at fair value, which were categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

Investments Held at Fair Value
Karuna, Vor and Akili Valuation
Karuna (Nasdaq: KRTX), Vor (Nasdaq: VOR), Akili (Nasdaq: AKLI) and additional immaterial investments are listed entities on an active exchange, and as such, the fair value as of December 31, 2023, was calculated utilizing the quoted common share price which is categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Vedanta and Sonde
As of December 31, 2023, the Group accounts for the following investments under IFRS 9 as investments held at fair value with changes in fair value through the profit and loss: Sonde preferred A-2 and B shares and Vedanta convertible preferred shares (subsequent to the date of deconsolidation). The valuation of the aforementioned investments is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to value such assets. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group recorded such investments at fair value and recognized a loss of $7,298 for the change in fair value of the investments. In addition, the Group determined that the fair value of its investment in the Gelesis 2023 Warrants was $0 as Gelesis ceased operations in October 2023.
The following table summarizes the changes in all the Group’s investments held at fair value, which were categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

Investments in Notes from Associates
As of December 31, 2022, the investment in notes from associates was $16,501 and represents investments the Group made in convertible promissory notes of Gelesis. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group invested $10,729 in convertible promissory notes of Gelesis and $5,000 in a convertible note of Vedanta. The Group recorded a loss of $27,630 for the change in fair value of the notes from associates in the gain/(loss) on investments in notes from associates within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income/Loss. The loss was driven by a reduction in the fair value of the Gelesis convertible promissory notes of $27,230 as Gelesis filed for bankruptcy in October 2023 and a change in the fair value of the Vedanata convertible note of $400.
The convertible debt issued by Vedanta was valued using a market backsolve approach that leverages a Monte Carlo simulation. The significant unobservable inputs categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2023, in the fair value measurement of the convertible debt are the same as the inputs disclosed above for Vedanta preferred shares.
