Pay Versus Performance

 

As required by Section 952(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and our financial performance for each of the last three completed fiscal years. For further information concerning our variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, refer to “Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

(2) “Compensation Actually Paid” (CAP) is calculated by taking Summary Compensation Table total compensation: a) less the stock award and stock option grant values; b) plus the year over year change in the fair value of stock and option awards that are unvested as of the end of the year, or vested or were forfeited during the year. The Company has not paid dividends historically and does not sponsor any pension arrangements; thus no adjustments are made for these items. Reconciliation of the Summary Compensation Table total compensation and CAP is summarized in the following table:

The graphs below reflect the relationship between the PEO and Average Non-PEO NEO CAP and the Company’s GAAP Net Income for each applicable reporting year. While we are required by SEC rules to disclose the relationship between our net income and compensation “actually paid” to our NEOs, this is not a metric our compensation committee currently uses in evaluating our NEOs’ compensation.
