Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table
Pay Versus Performance
In accordance with SEC rules, the following table sets forth information with respect to how “compensation actually paid” (CAP) for our NEOs aligns with company performance. CAP is an
SEC-defined
term that does not necessarily reflect the amounts realized by the NEOs or how the Compensation Committee evaluates the link between company performance and NEO compensation. In addition, a significant portion of CAP relates to changes in fair value of unvested awards over the course of each year. Unvested awards remain subject to vesting conditions and possible future declines in value based on changes in the price of our common stock. The ultimate value realized by our NEOs from unvested equity awards will not be determined until the awards vest. For further information regarding the executive compensation program, including how the Compensation Committee evaluates
pay-for-performance,
please refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.

Fair value of equity awards is calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. Fair value of PBRSUs with unsatisfied performance conditions as of the applicable measurement date also reflects the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions as of that date. Fair value of unvested options is based on the fair value of the options as of the applicable measurement date as determined using an options pricing model. If a vesting event is on a weekend or holiday, the next preceding day’s prices are used for valuation purposes. Dividend equivalents accumulating on unvested PBRSUs are included in the
year-end
fair value for the year in which the dividends are accrued.
 
 
(iii)
Changes in fair value are measured by comparing fair value as of the end of the applicable year or at vesting, as applicable, to the fair value as of the end of the prior year.
