(1) The dollar amounts reported in columns (b) and (d) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Makuen (Chief Executive Officer and Principal Executive Officer since March 9^th, 2020) and Mr. Sachse (Interim Chief Executive Officer until March 9^th, 2020) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to our Summary Compensation Table on page 37.

(2) The dollar amounts reported in column (c), (e) and (g) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid,” as computed in accordance with SEC rules. “Compensation actually paid” does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. We do not have a defined benefit plan so no adjustment for pension benefits is included in the table below. Similarly, no adjustment is made for dividends as dividends are factored into the fair value of the award. The following table details these adjustments:

(a)The dollar amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

(b) The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

(c)The recalculated value of equity awards for each applicable year includes 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 vest in applicable year, the change in the fair value as of the vesting date from the beginning of the applicable year.

(iv) for awards that failed to meet vesting conditions in the applicable year, the fair value from the end of prior fiscal year.

(v) for awards that were granted and vest in the applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date.

The valuation assumptions and processes used to recalculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant, except for PSU awards whose year-end and vesting date values are adjusted by the probability of achievement as of each such date.

(d) “Compensation actually paid” does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules.

(3) The dollar amounts reported in column (f) are the average amounts of total compensation reported for the other Named Executive Officers for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table.
