NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1:

Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025:

Derivative liability valuation. On July 22, 2024, the Company issued Existing Exchangeable Notes with conversion features that required bifurcation from the host instrument pursuant to ASC 815—Derivatives and Hedging. These conversion features were combined into a single derivative that comprises all features requiring bifurcation, see Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information. The derivative features have been valued using a binomial lattice approach. The binomial lattice approach consists of simulated Common Stock prices from the valuation date to the maturity of the Existing Exchangeable Notes. The significant inputs used to value the derivative include the share price of the Common Stock, the volatility of the share price, time to maturity, risk-free interest rate, credit spread, and discount yield. The Company measures the derivative at fair value at the end of each reporting period with any changes in fair value recorded to other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Valuation Technique. Quoted market prices and observable market-based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Company valued these notes at principal value less an estimated discount reflecting a market yield to maturity. See Note 6Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
