Maturity Information
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of marketable securities at December 31, 2013, by contractual maturity, are

Non-Current Investments and Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is associated with our self-insurance requirements. We entered into an escrow agreement with an
insurance carrier to guarantee our self-insurance obligations. This agreement requires us to provide cash collateral to the
insurance carrier, which is reported in “Investments and Restricted Cash” on our consolidated balance sheets. Additional cash
collateral provided is reflected in other investing activities in the statements of consolidated cash flows. This restricted cash is
invested in money market funds and similar cash equivalent type assets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $425 and
$288 million in restricted cash, respectively.
We held a $19 million investment in a variable life insurance policy to fund benefits for the UPS Excess Coordinating
Benefit Plan at December 31, 2013 and 2012. This investment is classified as “Investments and Restricted Cash” in the
consolidated balance sheets with the quarterly change in investment value recognized in investment income on the statements
of consolidated income.
Fair Value Measurements
Marketable securities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded equity securities and equity index funds,
and most U.S. Government debt securities, as these securities all have quoted prices in active markets. Marketable securities
utilizing Level 2 inputs include non-auction rate asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and municipal bonds. These securities
are valued using market corroborated pricing, matrix pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as yield curves.
We maintain holdings in certain investment partnerships that are measured at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs (classified
as “other investments” in the tables below, and as “Other Non-Current Assets” in the consolidated balance sheets). These
partnership holdings do not have quoted prices, nor can they be valued using inputs based on observable market data. These
investments are valued internally using a discounted cash flow model with two significant inputs: (1) the after-tax cash flow
projections for each partnership, and (2) a risk-adjusted discount rate consistent with the duration of the expected cash flows for
each partnership. The weighted-average discount rates used to value these investments were 8.65% and 7.75% as of
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These inputs and the resulting fair values are updated on a quarterly basis.
The following table presents information about our investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair
value (in millions):
