Debt marked at fair value is the Company's estimate of the "fair value" of its senior secured notes.  The current estimated fair value of the Company's senior secured notes is based on a discount rate calculated using the redemption yield of the relevant existing UK Gilt plus a credit spread determined by the difference in redemption yields between the  ICE BofAML 5-10 Year A Sterling Non-Gilt Index and the ICE BofAML 5-10 Year UK Gilt Index for the 4.53% senior secured 2029 notes, and the spread between the redemption yield of the ICE BofAML 15+ Year A Sterling Non-Gilt Index and the ICE BofAML 15+ Year UK Gilt Index for the 2.94% senior secured 2049 notes. The discount rate is calculated and updated at each month-end and applied daily to determine the Company's published fair value NAVs.
