Pay vs Performance Disclosure          
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table

Pay Versus Performance

The following table provides information required under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K disclosing (i) a measure of total compensation and a measure reflecting “compensation actually paid” for our principal executive officer (our “PEO”) and, as an average, for our other named executive officers (“NEOs”), and (ii) select financial

performance measures, in each case, for our five most recently completed fiscal years. The Human Resources Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure below in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown. The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized or received by our NEOs; these amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table totals with certain adjustments as described in the following table and footnotes.

________________________

(1)   The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for our PEO for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Our PEO for fiscal years 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was Ken Xie.

(2)   The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” (which is sometimes referred to as the “CAP”) for our PEO for the corresponding fiscal year, as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and as further described below.

(3)   The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for our non-PEO NEOs as a group in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for the corresponding year. Our non-PEO NEOs included for purposes of such calculations are as follows: (i) for fiscal year 2024, 2021, and 2020, Michael Xie, Keith Jensen, and John Whittle; and (ii) for fiscal year 2023 and 2022, Michael Xie, Keith Jensen, Patrice Perche and John Whittle.

(4)   The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to our non-PEO NEOs specified in footnote (3) as a group, as further described below.

(5)   The calculation of “compensation actually paid” uses the “Total” compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year, with certain adjustments (i.e., additions or subtractions) with respect to the fair value of equity awards. The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in the same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The methodology used to develop the valuation assumptions as of each applicable measurement date is consistent with those disclosed at the time of grant.

The following table provides reconciling information for the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for our PEO for each of the years set forth below to the amount of “compensation actually paid.”

(6)    Amounts represent the cumulative total stockholder return of our common stock for the period beginning on the market close on December 31, 2019, the last trading day before the earliest fiscal year in the table, through and including December 31, 2024, the end of the last fiscal year in the table for which cumulative total stockholder return is being calculated. Amount assumes that $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019. The amount included in the table is the value of such fixed investment based on the cumulative total stockholder return as of the end of each year, including reinvestment of dividends (if any).

(7)   The peer group used for this purpose is NASDAQ Computer Index, which we also use in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. Amount assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in our common stock and in the NASDAQ Computer Index, respectively.

(8)   The dollar amounts are our net income as reflected in our audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable year.

(9)   We determined Revenue to be the most important financial measure used to link our performance to Compensation Actually Paid for our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs for fiscal year 2024.

(10) Please see Footnote (5) to the SCT for an explanation of the changes to the Average SCT Total for Non-PEO NEOs and Average CAP to Non-PEO NEOs.

Description of Relationship Between PEO and Non-PEO NEO Compensation Actually Paid and Revenue

The following chart sets forth the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO, the average of Compensation Actually Paid to our Non-PEO NEOs and our revenue during the four most recently completed fiscal years.

       
Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group Amounts represent the cumulative total stockholder return of our common stock for the period beginning on the market close on December 31, 2019, the last trading day before the earliest fiscal year in the table, through and including December 31, 2024, the end of the last fiscal year in the table for which cumulative total stockholder return is being calculated. Amount assumes that $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019. The amount included in the table is the value of such fixed investment based on the cumulative total stockholder return as of the end of each year, including reinvestment of dividends (if any).

List of Most Important Performance Measures to Determine 2024 CAP

As described in more detail in “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy and includes performance metrics that are intended to incentivize our NEOs and align our NEOs’ interests with those of our stockholders. The most important performance measures used to link executive compensation actually paid, for the 2024 fiscal year, to our performance overall are as follows:

[1] The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for our PEO for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Our PEO for fiscal years 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was Ken Xie.
[2] Please see Footnote (5) to the SCT for an explanation of the changes to the Average SCT Total for Non-PEO NEOs and Average CAP to Non-PEO NEOs.
[3] The calculation of “compensation actually paid” uses the “Total” compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year, with certain adjustments (i.e., additions or subtractions) with respect to the fair value of equity awards. The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in the same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The methodology used to develop the valuation assumptions as of each applicable measurement date is consistent with those disclosed at the time of grant.

[4] The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” (which is sometimes referred to as the “CAP”) for our PEO for the corresponding fiscal year, as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and as further described below.
[5] The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for our non-PEO NEOs as a group in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for the corresponding year. Our non-PEO NEOs included for purposes of such calculations are as follows: (i) for fiscal year 2024, 2021, and 2020, Michael Xie, Keith Jensen, and John Whittle; and (ii) for fiscal year 2023 and 2022, Michael Xie, Keith Jensen, Patrice Perche and John Whittle.
[6] The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to our non-PEO NEOs specified in footnote (3) as a group, as further described below.
[7] Amounts represent the cumulative total stockholder return of our common stock for the period beginning on the market close on December 31, 2019, the last trading day before the earliest fiscal year in the table, through and including December 31, 2024, the end of the last fiscal year in the table for which cumulative total stockholder return is being calculated. Amount assumes that $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019. The amount included in the table is the value of such fixed investment based on the cumulative total stockholder return as of the end of each year, including reinvestment of dividends (if any).
[8] The peer group used for this purpose is NASDAQ Computer Index, which we also use in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. Amount assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in our common stock and in the NASDAQ Computer Index, respectively.
[9] The dollar amounts are our net income as reflected in our audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable year.
[10] We determined Revenue to be the most important financial measure used to link our performance to Compensation Actually Paid for our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs for fiscal year 2024.
[11] The dollar amounts represent the grant date fair value of equity-based awards granted each year to our PEO, and the average grant date fair value of equity-based awards granted each year for our non-PEO NEOs, as reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal years 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020.
[12] The dollar amounts reflect the value of equity-based awards granted to our PEO, and the average value of the equity-based awards for our non-PEO NEOs, calculated in accordance with the methodology contained in the SEC’s rules for determining CAP for each year shown. The equity-based awards component of CAP for fiscal years 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is detailed in the supplemental table below.
