Further to the completion of a series of conditions precedent that made Abengoa´s restructuring effective as of March 31, 2017, the guarantee provided by Abengoa regarding the preferred equity investment in ACBH, which supported the fair value of this instrument of $30.5 million as of December 31, 2016, was canceled, which reduced the fair value of this instrument to nil. In exchange for the guarantee provided by Abengoa being canceled, the Company received a certain amount of equity in Abengoa, and Corporate tradable bonds issued by Abengoa and subject to a 5.5-year period stay (extendable to a 2 additional years subject further to the senior old money creditors´consent) and with a 1.5% annual interest rate (0.25% cash, 1.25% PIK).

Further to the restructuring agreement of Abengoa being made effective, the Company was assigned an amount of New Money 1 Tradable Notes of $44.5 million in exchange for contributing $43.6 million of cash. As a result of this contribution, the corporate tradable bonds detailed above are ranked as senior debt. The Company sold all the New Money 1 Tradable Notes it was assigned during the month of April 2017 for $44.9 million.

New Money 1 Tradable Notes assigned to Atlantica Yield, Corporate tradable bonds and shares in Abengoa received, together are further referred as “Abengoa Debt and Equity Instruments”. These are all available for sale financial assets, of which major part has been sold during the second, third and fourth quarter of 2017. The fair value of the remaining portion as of December 31, 2017 amounts to $1.7 million, and is classified as current financial investments.

Derecognition of the fair value assigned to the ACBH preferred equity investment and recognition of the Abengoa Debt and Equity Instruments resulted in a loss of $5.8 million. The sale of these instruments resulted in a profit of $6.5 million. Both impacts are accounted for in these consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as Other net financial income and expenses (see Note 21).

Prior to Abengoa´s restructuring agreement being made effective, Abengoa acknowledged that it failed to fulfill its obligations under the agreements related to the preferred equity investment in ACBH and, as a result, Atlantica Yield is the legal owner of the dividends amounting to $10.4 million declared on February 24, 2017, that the Company retained from Abengoa. Upon receipt of Abengoa Debt and Equity Instruments, the Company waived its rights under the guarantee provided by Abengoa related to the ACBH agreements, including its right to retain the dividends payable to Abengoa.

Other financial investments include primarily the short-term portion of contracted concessional assets (see Note 6).

Investment in Ten West Link as of December 31, 201 is a $2.1 million investment, which was made by the Company accounting for a 12.5% interests in a 114-mile transmission line in the U.S.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, all the financial instruments measured at fair value have been classified as Level 2, except for the Abengoa Debt and Equity Instruments received further to the implementation of Abengoa´s restructuring agreement on March 31st 2017. The unsold portion as of December 31st 2017 is classified as Level 1.
