Our PEO does not have any accumulated benefit under any defined benefit or actuarial pension plans; accordingly, we did not deduct or add any amounts with respect to defined benefit pension plans in calculating CAP to the PEO.
For purposes of the above adjustments, the fair value of equity awards on the applicable date were determined in accordance with FASB’s ASC Topic 718, using valuation methodologies that are generally consistent with those used to determine the grant-date fair value for accounting purposes.
The table below contains ranges of assumptions used in the valuation of outstanding equity awards for the relevant fiscal year(s).

The Company operates in the maritime tanker shipping industry, which is a highly cyclical business where results often reflect an underlying commodity-based rate environment. Accordingly, the results of our business can fluctuate significantly from time to time, driven by changes in shipping rates and vessel valuations that can be caused by, among other things, geopolitical events, global or regional conflicts, government action and regulatory developments, in the global capital markets, environmental incidents and various other factors discussed in detail in our Annual Report. As part of its effort to appropriately align compensation incentives to management performance, the Compensation Committee annually evaluates and implements both fixed and variable components of compensation. Due, however, to the volatile nature of the industry, variable compensation actually paid can be significantly affected (either positively or negatively) by short-to-medium-term changes in market rates and INSW stock performance.
