Exchangeable Shares
In April 2024, we elected to convert our 17.1 million Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, in April 2024, we exchanged C$81.2 million of the principal amount of the C$100.0 million 4.25% promissory note issued to us by Canopy for 9.1 million Exchangeable Shares and forgave all accrued but unpaid interest together with the remaining principal amount of the note. As a result of these transactions, we (i) have 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares and (ii) recognized an $83.3 million net gain in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2024. The fair value of Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange was estimated using a valuation model based primarily on the following inputs: (i) Canopy’s common share price, (ii) the expected volatility of Canopy’s common shares, and (iii) the probability and timing of U.S. federal legalization of recreational cannabis. As the Exchangeable Shares are an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, we elected to account for the Exchangeable Shares under the measurement alternative method. Future impairments, if any, will also be reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

Other investments in debt and equity securities
We have multiple investments through our corporate venture capital function in debt and equity securities.
