Pay vs Performance Disclosure          
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table
Pay versus Performance Disclosure
The table below has been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s pay versus performance (“PvP”) rules. The PvP rules create a definition of pay, referred to as Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”), which is compared to certain performance measures as required by the SEC. In determining CAP for our principal executive officer (our “PEO”) and our named executive officers, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for this year and in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required for the Summary Compensation Table. The CAP data reflected in the table below may not reflect amounts actually realized or that will be realized by our named executive officers. A significant portion of the CAP amounts shown relates to changes in values of unvested awards over the course of the reporting year. These unvested awards remain subject to significant risk from forfeiture conditions and possible future changes in value based on changes in our stock price.
The Compensation and People Committee does not use CAP as the basis for making compensation decisions. Refer to Compensation Discussion and Analysis above to understand how the Committee makes compensation decisions.
