Fair Value Measurement Inputs and Valuation Techniques | The fair values of the Fixed-price Preemptive Rights and Cronos warrant are estimated using Black-Scholes option-pricing models, adjusted for observable inputs (which are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy), including share price, and unobservable inputs, including probability factors and weighting of expected life, volatility levels and risk-free interest rates (which are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) based on the following assumptions at:
|  | March 31, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020 |  | March 31, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020 |  |  |  |
|  | Fixed-price Preemptive Rights |  | Cronos Warrant |  |  |  |
Share price (1) |  | C$11.88 |  | C$8.84 |  | C$11.88 |  | C$8.84 |  |  |  |
Expected life (2) |  | 0.97 years |  | 1.05 years |  | 1.93 years |  | 2.18 years |  |  |  |
Expected volatility (3) |  | 81.54% |  | 80.68% |  | 81.54% |  | 80.68% |  |  |  |
Risk-free interest rate (4)(5) |  | 0.15% |  | 0.13% |  | 0.22% |  | 0.21% |  |  |  |
Expected dividend yield (6) |  | —% |  | —% |  | —% |  | —% |  |  |  |
(1) Based on the closing market price for Cronos common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the date indicated. (2) Based on the weighted-average expected life of the Fixed-price Preemptive Rights (with a range from approximately 0.25 year to 4.5 years at March 31, 2021 and 0.25 year to 5 years at December 31, 2020) and the March 8, 2023 expiration date of the Cronos warrant. (3) Based on a blend of historical volatility of the underlying equity security and implied volatility from traded options on the underlying equity security at March 31, 2021. Based on a blend of historical volatility levels of the underlying equity security and peer companies at December 31, 2020. (4) Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues (with a range from approximately 0.09% to 0.87% at March 31, 2021 and 0.06% to 0.39% at December 31, 2020) weighted for the remaining expected life of the Fixed-price Preemptive Rights. (5) Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues and the expected life of the Cronos warrant. (6) Based on Cronos’s expected dividend payments.
