(1) The Company has elected to account for its exchangeable senior debentures using the fair value option.  Changes in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to the change in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive income. The change in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk before tax was a loss of $4.7 million and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a loss of $4.5 million and zero for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The cumulative change was a gain of $4.1 million as of June 30, 2021.
