Additional 402(v) Disclosure As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation that the SEC deems to have been actually paid to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and other named executive officers (“NEOs”) and certain indicators of our financial performance. Please note that Item 402(v) requires the amounts included in the “compensation actually paid” columns of the table below to be calculated according to a particular formula that treats the increase or decrease in the value of outstanding equity awards as amounts “actually paid” to the NEO, regardless of whether the NEO realized any gain from such fluctuation in equity value. For further information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Siebel, who has served as our Chief Executive Officer since 2011) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding Mr. Siebel) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2023, Edward Abbo, Juho Parkkinen, Houman Behzadi and Richard Lutton; (ii) for 2022, David Barter, Edward Abbo, Juho Parkkinen, Houman Behzadi, Richard Lutton and Adeel Manzoor; and (iii) for 2021, David Barter and Edward Abbo.Represents the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of a $100 investment in our stock as of December 9, 2020, the date that our Class A common stock began trading on the NYSE, valued again on each of April 30, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. The initial public offering price of our Class A common stock was $42.00 per share (the disclosure of the Company’s initial public offering price in this footnote is supplemental disclosure that is not required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K).The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income (loss) reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.Reflects “revenue” for each fiscal year as set forth in our Consolidated Statements of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each of the fiscal years.
Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:
Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table
As described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.
All of the information provided above under the “Pay Versus Performance” heading will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates such information by reference.
