In September 2012, the Company invested approximately $27.1 million in Nanya, which was comprised of common shares which are classified as available-for-sale securities and private placement shares which are accounted for on the cost-basis. The Company accounts for the private placement shares it acquired in Nanya on the cost-basis as these securities are restricted and the restrictions do not terminate within one year of the reporting date.
