[1] On December 20, 2012, Star Asia Opportunity II completed a reorganization whereby its assets were contributed into a subsidiary of the Star Asia Special Situations Fund. The net effect of the reorganization to the Company was that the Company exchanged its ownership interest in Star Asia Opportunity II for cash and an interest in the Star Asia Special Situations Fund. The Star Asia Special Situations Fund is carried at fair value and included as a component of other investments, at fair value. The cash received by the Company in the reorganization is included as distributions / repayments above. The remaining carrying value of the Company’s equity method investment in Star Asia Opportunity II was $1,841 after taking into account the cash distribution from the reorganization. This amount was reclassified from investments in equity method affiliates to other investments, at fair value. It is shown as reorganization in the table above and is treated as the cost basis of the Company’s investment in the Star Asia Special Situations Fund. Any difference between the cost basis assigned and the fair value of the Company’s investment in the Star Asia Special Situations Fund is included as a component of principal transactions, and other income. See notes 8, 9, 28, and 29.
