Peer Group Issuers, Footnote

Pursuant to the SEC rules, TSR measures the cumulative value of an initial investment of $100 on June 30, 2020, including the reinvestment of dividends, through and including the end of the applicable fiscal year for which TSR is calculated, or June 30, 2021, June 30, 2022, June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024, respectively. As permitted by the SEC rules, the peer group referenced for purpose of the TSR comparison is the S&P 500 Health Care Index, which is the industry peer group used by the company for purposes of Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. The separate peer group used by the Compensation Committee for purposes of determining compensation paid to our executive officers is described in the CD&A beginning on page 59.

Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote

The following tables show the adjustments, each of which is prescribed by the SEC rules, made to calculate the CAP amounts from the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) amounts. The SCT amounts and the CAP amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executives during the applicable years, but rather are amounts determined in accordance with Item 402 of Regulation S-K. Pursuant to the applicable rules, the amounts in the “Stock Awards” column from the SCT are subtracted from the SCT amounts and the values reflected in the table below are added or subtracted as applicable:
