Fair value measurement policy
ASC Subtopic
 
820-10 “Fair
 
Value
 
Measurements and
 
Disclosures” establishes
 
a fair
 
value hierarchy
 
that prioritizes
 
the inputs
 
to
valuation techniques
 
used to
 
measure fair
 
value into
 
three levels
 
in order
 
to increase
 
consistency and
 
comparability in
 
fair value
measurements and disclosures. The hierarchy is broken
 
down into three levels based on the reliability
 
of inputs as follows:
Level
 
1
- Unadjusted
 
quoted prices
 
in
 
active markets
 
for identical
 
assets
 
or liabilities
 
that
 
the Corporation
 
has the
 
ability to
access at the
 
measurement date. Valuation
 
on these instruments
 
does not necessitate a
 
significant degree of judgment
 
since
valuations are based on quoted prices that are
 
readily available in an active market.
Level 2
- Quoted
 
prices other
 
than those
 
included in
 
Level 1
 
that are
 
observable either
 
directly or
 
indirectly.
 
Level 2
 
inputs
include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets
 
that
 
are
 
not
 
active,
 
or
 
other inputs
 
that
 
are
 
observable
 
or that
 
can
 
be
 
corroborated by
 
observable market
 
data
 
for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3
- Inputs are unobservable and significant
 
to the fair value measurement.
 
Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s
own judgements about assumptions that market participants
 
would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The
 
Corporation
 
maximizes
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
observable
 
inputs
 
and
 
minimizes
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
unobservable
 
inputs
 
by
 
requiring
 
that
 
the
observable inputs be used when
 
available. Fair value is
 
based upon quoted market prices
 
when available. If listed prices
 
or quotes
are
 
not
 
available,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
employs
 
internally-developed
 
models
 
that
 
primarily
 
use
 
market-based
 
inputs
 
including
 
yield
curves, interest rates,
 
volatilities, and credit
 
curves, among others.
 
Valuation
 
adjustments are limited
 
to those necessary
 
to ensure
that the financial instrument’s
 
fair value is adequately representative of
 
the price that would
 
be received or paid
 
in the marketplace.
These adjustments include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality,
 
the Corporation’s credit standing, constraints on liquidity
and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently.
 
There have been no changes in the
 
Corporation’s methodologies used
to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities from
 
those disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K.
The estimated fair
 
value may
 
be subjective in
 
nature and may
 
involve uncertainties and
 
matters of
 
significant judgment for
 
certain
financial instruments. Changes in the underlying assumptions
 
used in calculating fair value could significantly
 
affect the results.
