Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair Value of certain investments using the net asset Value per share of the investment. Currently, investments valued using the practical expedient are categorized within the fair Value hierarchy on the basis of whether the investment is redeemable with the investee at net asset Value on the Measurement date, never redeemable with the investee at net asset Value , or redeemable with the investee at net asset Value at a future date.

4 For investments that are redeemable with the investee at a future date, a reporting entity must take into account the length of time until those investments become redeemable to determine the classification within the fair Value hierarchy. There is diversity in practice related to how certain investments measured at net asset Value with redemption dates in the future (including periodic redemption dates) are categorized within the fair Value hierarchy. The objective of this Update is to address that diversity in practice. Who Is Affected by the Amendments in This Update? The amendments in this Update apply to reporting entities that elect to measure the fair Value of an investment within the scope of paragraphs 820-10-15-4 through 15-5 using the net asset Value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient in paragraph 820-10-35-59. What Are the Main Provisions? The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to categorize within the fair Value hierarchy all investments for which fair Value is measured using the net asset Value per share practical expedient.

5 The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain Disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair Value using the net asset Value per share practical expedient. Rather, those Disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair Value using that practical expedient. 2 How Do the Main Provisions Differ from Current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Why Are They an Improvement? Current GAAP requires that investments for which fair Value is measured at net asset Value (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in Topic 820 be categorized within the fair Value hierarchy using criteria that differ from the criteria used to categorize other fair Value measurements within the hierarchy. Under the amendments in this Update, investments for which fair Value is measured at net asset Value per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient should not be categorized in the fair Value hierarchy.

6 Removing those investments from the fair Value hierarchy not only eliminates the diversity in practice resulting from the way in which investments measured at net asset Value per share (or its equivalent) with future redemption dates are classified, but also ensures that all investments categorized in the fair Value hierarchy are classified using a consistent approach. Investments that calculate net asset Value per share (or its equivalent), but for which the practical expedient is not applied will continue to be included in the fair Value hierarchy. A reporting entity should continue to disclose information on investments for which fair Value is measured at net asset Value (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to help users understand the nature and risks of the investments and whether the investments, if sold, are probable of being sold at amounts different from net asset Value . When Will the Amendments Be Effective? The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

7 For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The retrospective approach requires that an investment for which fair Value is measured using the net asset Value per share practical expedient be removed from the fair Value hierarchy in all periods presented in an entity s financial statements. Earlier application is permitted. 3 How Do the Provisions Compare with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)? IFRS does not provide a practical expedient to measure the fair Value of certain investments at net asset Value per share. As such, both current GAAP and the amendments differ from IFRS. 5 Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Introduction 1. The Accounting Standards Codification is amended as described in paragraphs 2 10.

8 In some cases, to put the change into context, not only are the amended paragraphs shown but also the preceding and following paragraphs. Terms from the Master Glossary are in bold type. Added text is underlined, and deleted text is struck out. Amendments to Subtopic 820-10 2. Amend paragraph 820-10-35-54B and its related heading, with a link to transition paragraph 820-10-65-10, as follows: Fair Value Measurement Overall Subsequent Measurement > > > Categorizing Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) within the Fair Value Hierarchy 820-10-35-54B Categorization within the fair Value hierarchy of a fair Value Measurement of an An investment within the scope of paragraphs 820-10-15-4 through 15-5 for which fair Value that is measured using net asset Value per share (or its equivalent, for example member units or an ownership interest in partners capital to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed) as a practical expedient, as described in paragraph 820-10-35-59, shall not be categorized within the fair Value hierarchy.

9 In addition, the disclosure requirements in paragraph 820-10-50-2 do not apply to that investment. Disclosures required for an investment for which fair Value is measured using net asset Value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient are described in paragraph 820-10-50-6A. Although the investment is not categorized within the fair Value hierarchy, a reporting entity shall provide the amount measured using the net asset Value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient to permit reconciliation of the fair Value of investments included in the fair Value hierarchy to the line items presented in the statement of financial position in accordance with paragraph judgment, considering the following: 6 a. Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update 2015-07. If a reporting entity has the ability to redeem its investment with the investee at net asset Value per share (or its equivalent) at the Measurement date, the fair Value Measurement of the investment shall be categorized within Level 2 of the fair Value hierarchy.

10 B. Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update 2015-07. If a reporting entity will never have the ability to redeem its investment with the investee at net asset Value per share (or its equivalent), the fair Value Measurement of the investment shall be categorized within Level 3 of the fair Value hierarchy. c. Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update 2015-07. If a reporting entity cannot redeem its investment with the investee at net asset Value per share (or its equivalent) at the Measurement date but the investment may be redeemable with the investee at a future date (for example, investments subject to a lockup or gate or investments whose redemption period does not coincide with the Measurement date), the reporting entity shall take into account the length of time until the investment will become redeemable in determining whether the fair Value Measurement of the investment shall be categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair Value hierarchy.
