(1)Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative carrying value of the instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Information about Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurements
(a)Significant increase (decrease) in the unobservable input in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
(b)Significant increase (decrease) in the unobservable input in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
(c)Significant increase (decrease) in the unobservable input in isolation would result in either a significantly lower or higher (higher or lower) fair value measurement depending on the structural features of the security in question.
(d)This unobservable input is not subject to variability as of the respective reporting dates.
