The fair value of financial assets categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value of financial assets categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.

The Company did not transfer any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022.
