(a)

The reported value of equity awards represents the grant date fair value of equity awards as reported in the Stock Awards column in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. The Company has not granted option awards since 2016.

(b)

The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction) of the amount of change in fair value as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year. For awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount of change in fair value as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) is included. The dollar value of any dividends paid on stock awards in the applicable year of the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year is included. The RSU fair value was estimated by discounting the fair value of the RSUs based on the dividend yield. These adjustments are listed in the tables below.

Tabular List, Table

As described in greater detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects our pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that we use for our executive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures we used to link executive compensation actually paid to our NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance are as follows:
