The consideration received consisted primarily of publicly traded limited partner units of the acquirer measured at fair value on the transaction date. The limited partner units are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy and are remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings (see Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Guarantees).
