Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote
(2)    This footnote references both 2023, the most recently completed fiscal year, and 2020 to 2022. The amounts included in these columns for 2020 through 2022 have changed from those reported in the Company’s previous 2023 proxy statement as the Company identified an inadvertent mathematical error in calculating Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) for 2020-2022 due to improperly comparing each vesting tranche of RSUs against the full RSU award rather than the individual tranche.
CAP to Mr. Woolverton as CEO and SilverBow’s other NEOs (on an average basis) is calculated in accordance with SEC Regulation S-K, Item 402(v)(2)(iii) as follows:

Additions to SCT Total reflect the value of equity calculated in accordance with SEC requirements for determining CAP for each year shown. RSUs were valued using the Company’s stock price on the applicable date of grant, year-end and vesting dates. PSUs were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation on the applicable date of grant and year-end dates, and valued based on the Company’s stock price and total amount of certified shares achieved on the year-end performance period end date. The stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes model at applicable year-end and vesting dates. These calculations for 2020 through 2023 are further detailed in the supplemental table below.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure Value of Initial Fixed $100 Investment assumes that the value of the investment in our Common Stock and in the peer group (including reinvestment of dividends) was $100 at market close on December 31, 2019 (the last trading day of 2019), and tracks such investment through market close on the last trading day of each applicable year. The Company’s Net Income for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as presented in SilverBow’s 10-K for each respective year.Relative TSR Performance Percentile is based on the metric used for SilverBow’s annual KPI peer groups for each of 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as detailed further in the CD&A section of this proxy statement and in prior year CD&As included in our 2021, 2022 and 2023 proxy statements. For 2023 and 2022, the Company’s KPI metric was the intersection of absolute TSR and relative TSR (and not just relative TSR as was used in 2021 and 2020); for purposes of the Pay versus Performance table, SilverBow has elected to keep the relative TSR performance percentile for all years above for ease of comparison. Amounts shown in this table for each year reflect SilverBow’s one-year TSR relative to the one-year TSR of the performance peer group used for the Company’s KPIs for that year. The Company believes the Relative TSR Performance Percentile is an appropriate metric to select given the substantial portion of our NEOs’ compensation is long-term equity awards, including PSUs and RSUs.
