PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

In accordance with SEC rules applicable to smaller reporting companies, the following table sets forth information with respect to how “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and other named executive officers (“NEOs”) aligns with company performance. CAP is an SEC‑defined term that does not necessarily reflect the amounts realized by our NEOs. For information regarding the Company’s compensation philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with its financial and operational performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.
