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 2023 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.
