Annual Report
Fair Value Hierarchy
The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
•Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2. Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions
(less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be
derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities.
•Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the
fair value of assets or liabilities.
