The IRNT common shares was received by the Company as a result of the previously discussed Sponsor distribution. The fair value of these shares determined at the date of distribution represents the basis of these securities.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of IRNT securities was determined based on their publicly quoted market price, except certain shares which had trading restrictions at the end of 2021. At December 31, 2021, the Company held 1,250,000 shares of IRNT common stock that were restricted from sale until early 2022. The fair value of these shares of restricted common stock was determined by applying a discount for lack of marketability to the publicly quoted market price of IRNT common stock at December 31, 2021.

The Company has executed derivatives transactions as part of its plan to minimize the economic risk of IRNT share price volatility to its IRNT holdings. The Company held put options, covering shares of IRNT common stock with a second quarter 2022 expiration date, for 250,000 IRNT shares and 300,000 IRNT shares at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
