(A)	Corresponds to a loan facility to Constellium UACJ ABS LLC (See NOTE 17 – Investments accounted for under the equity method)

21.2 Fair values

All derivatives are presented at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The carrying value of the Group’s borrowings at maturity is the redemption value.

The fair value of Constellium N.V. Senior Notes issued in May 2014, February 2017 and November 2017 account for 102%, 106% and 101% respectively of the nominal value and amount to €645 million, €572 million and €828 million respectively at December 31, 2017. The fair value was classified as a level 1 measurement under the fair value hierarchy provided by IFRS 13.

The fair values of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values, as a result of their liquidity or short maturity except for the loan facility to Constellium UACJ ABS LLC (See NOTE 17—Investments accounted for under the equity method).

21.3 Valuation hierarchy

The following table provides an analysis of derivatives measured at fair value, grouped into levels based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

•

Level 1 valuation is based on quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments, it includes aluminium futures that are traded on the LME;

•

Level 2 valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices), it includes foreign exchange derivatives;

•

Level 3 valuation is based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
