[1] The maturities of long-term marketable investments range from one year to four years.

[2] Restricted cash is included in other noncurrent assets and primarily relates to the MMJ Creditor Payments and certain government incentives received prior to being earned. The restrictions lapse on the MMJ Creditor Payments upon approval by the trustees and/or Tokyo District Court and for the government incentives upon achieving certain performance conditions.

[3] The fair value of Level 1 securities is measured based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

[4] The fair value of Level 2 securities is measured using information obtained from pricing services, which obtain quoted market prices for similar instruments, non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data, or various other methodologies, to determine the appropriate value at the measurement date. We perform supplemental analyses to validate information obtained from these pricing services. No adjustments were made to the fair values indicated by such pricing information as of November 28, 2019 or August 29, 2019.
