The Litigation financing valuation was based on the following assumptions: amounts funded by the Funder, the corresponding IRR calculation, applicable percentage applicable to the recovery percentage calculation and management’s good-faith estimates for estimated outcome probabilities and estimated debt repayment dates.

The 2022 Warrants, the December 2023 Warrants and the March 2023 Warrants are measured using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used in this model included the use of key inputs, including expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option and the expected dividend yield. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of our Common Stock over the term of the warrant. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The expected life is estimated based on contractual terms as well as expected exercise dates. The dividend yield is based on the historical dividends issued by us. If the volatility rate or risk-free interest rate were to change, the value of the warrants would be impacted.

The embedded derivatives for the conversion options on the March 2023 Notes and December 2023 Notes are measured at fair value, Level 3, using the with-and-without valuation method. The assumptions used in this model included key inputs, including expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the expected dividend yield, and the appropriate discount rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of our Common Stock over the term of the notes. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The expected life is estimated based on contractual terms. The dividend yield is based on the historical dividends issued by the Company. The discount rate is derived based on a risk-adjusted market rate for CCC-rated corporate bond yields. If the volatility rate or risk-free interest rate were to change, the value of the notes would be impacted.

The following table summarizes the fair values and related carrying values of financial instruments at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that are not required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Items not included in the above disclosures include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other related party receivables, other current assets and accounts payable. The carrying values of those items, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximate their fair value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which is determined using Level 1.

 

Changes in our Level 3 fair value measurements were as follows:
