1.The Company's held-to-maturity securities primarily included treasury bills and time deposits.

2.The Company’s investments in marketable securities are included in “Other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

3.The Company’s investments in debt securities, which are primarily available-for-sale, and equity securities are included in “Other investments” in the consolidated balance sheets.

4.U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. agency obligations, U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and other municipalities’ obligations.

5.See Note 18 for the classification of derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets.

6.See Note 18 for information on fair value measurements of long-term debt.

7.Estimated liability for TDCC's guarantee of Sadara's debt which is included in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 12 for additional information.

For equity securities calculated at net asset value per share (or its equivalent), the Company had $119 million in private market securities and $19 million in real estate at June 30, 2021 ($111 million in private market securities and $19 million in real estate at December 31, 2020). There are no redemption restrictions and the unfunded commitments on these investments were $63 million at June 30, 2021 ($63 million at December 31, 2020).

For liabilities classified as Level 3 measurements, the fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs including assumptions where there is little, if any, market activity. The fair value of the Company’s accrued liability related to the guarantee of Sadara’s debt is in proportion to the Company’s 35 percent ownership interest in Sadara. The estimated fair value of the guarantee was calculated using a "with" and "without" method. The fair value of the debt was calculated "with" the guarantee less the fair value of the debt "without" the guarantee. The "with" and "without" values were calculated using a discounted cash flow method based on contractual cash flows as well as projected prepayments made on the debt by Sadara. See Note 12 for further information on guarantees classified as Level 3 measurements.
