 date. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 may include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets.•Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments in this category may include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.•Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement.
