The embedded conversion feature was not deemed to be closely and clearly related to the debt-type host instrument and before the modification described below did not meet the requirements for classification as equity. Accordingly, it was accounted for as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings. The change in fair value of the embedded derivative included in the statement of earnings was $ 7.0 million were for the year ended December 31, 2013. On May 14, 2013, the host instrument was modified by eliminating certain provisions that prevented the embedded conversion feature from meeting the criteria for classification as equity.
