Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at time of purchase are included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Level 1 assets are priced using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets which include money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities and mutual funds as these specific assets are liquid.

Level 2 available-for-sale securities are priced using quoted market prices for similar instruments or nonbinding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, and other similar data, which are obtained from quoted market prices, independent pricing vendors, or other sources, to determine the ultimate fair value of these assets and liabilities. The Company uses such pricing data as the primary input to make its assessments and determinations as to the ultimate valuation of its investment portfolio and has not made, during the periods presented, any material adjustments to such inputs.

As of March 31, 2023, the Notes represented a Level 3 measurement with an outstanding principal amount of $56.6 million, and a fair value of $16.9 million.

As of December 31, 2022, the Notes represented a Level 2 measurement with an outstanding principal amount of $56.6 million, and a fair value of $51.9 million.
