(a) The Company elected to account for its exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes (as described in note 9) using the fair value option. Changes in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a gain of $14 million and loss of $56 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and a gain of $6 million and a loss of $64 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cumulative change since issuance was a gain of $57 million as of September 30, 2025, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses.
