Named Executive Officers, Footnote Mr. Mattke is the CEO for all years shown. The non-CEO NEOs for 2020-2022 are Messrs. Miosi, Colson, and Hughes, and Ms. Maggio. The non-CEO NEOs for 2023 are Messrs. Miosi, Colson, Hughes and Thompson, and Ms. Maggio.                        
Peer Group Issuers, Footnote The peer group total shareholder return shown is weighted according to the respective peers' stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group includes those companies identified as 2023 peers in "Benchmarking Peers" in the CD&A. Our 2022 and 2021 peer group includes those companies identified in the solid box shown in our "Benchmarking Peer Group" table in the CD&A. The 2020 peer group includes those companies included in our 2021 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission: Ambac Financial Group, Inc., MBIA Inc., Arch Capital Group Ltd., Assured Guaranty Ltd., Essent Group Ltd., Fidelity National Financial Inc., First American Fin'l Corp., Flagstar Bancorp Inc., Genworth Financial Inc., NMI Holdings Inc. Ocwen Financial Corp. PennyMac Fin'l Services Inc., and Radian Group Inc.
As disclosed in our 2023 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in July 2022 the MDNG Committee approved changes to the Company's peer group for 2023 executive compensation as shown below. The market capitalization-weighted indexed total shareholder return of our 2022 compensation peers from 2020-2023, calculated as the value of an initial $100 investment on December 31, 2019 was $90.05, $116.05, $111.54, and $146.16, respectively. These values reflect a correction to an error in the calculations used for the values shown in the "2022 Pay for Performance" section of the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed in 2023.

Relationship between CAP and GAAP Net Income. The graph below reflects the relationship between the CEO and average other NEO CAP and our GAAP Net Income. GAAP net income is not used as a metric in our annual or long-term incentive plans, but its value affects various metrics used to determine executive compensation.

Cumulative ABVS Growth determines the number of restricted stock units that vest under our long-term equity awards granted under our executive compensation program, and it is an important driver of long-term shareholder value creation.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure Cumulative ABVS Growth is used to determine the number of restricted stock units that vest under our long-term equity awards granted under our executive compensation program. The annual percentage growth in ABVS is shown to provide context to the reader of this Proxy Statement.
Salary, Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation, Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings and All Other Compensation are each calculated in the same manner for purposes of both CAP and SCT. There are two primary differences between the calculation of CAP and SCT total compensation:

SCT TotalCAP
PensionYear over year change in the actuarial present value of pension benefits.
Current year service cost and the change to any prior year service cost (if a plan amendment occurred during the year).

As of January 1, 2023 the pension plan was frozen (no future benefits accrue for participants due to employment and no new participants will be added). Participants continue to earn interest credits on applicable benefits.
Stock and Option AwardsGrant date fair value of stock and option awards granted during the year.Year over year change in the fair value of stock and option awards that are expected to vest as of the end of the year, or vested or were forfeited during the year, including dividend equivalents as applicable. Vesting is tied to growth in the Company's adjusted book value per share, as described further in our CD&A.

The increased CAP for our CEO and other NEOs is primarily a result of the Company's record performance over the course of the last three years. Our CEO's 2023 CAP was most materially impacted by equity award adjustments for the year. The largest factors in the adjustment were the 48% stock price growth in 2023 and the performance with respect to the long-term equity awards.

Name Cumulative Adjusted Book Value per Share Growth                        
Non-GAAP Measure Description The figures shown in this column are annual growth in adjusted book value per share ("ABVS"). ABVS represents shareholder's equity divided by common stock shares outstanding, adjusted for the net-of-tax, per share effects of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), litigation accruals, debt and common stock repurchases, shareholder dividends, the financial impacts of certain changes made by the GSEs inconsistent with prior business practices, and adjustments set forth in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, including without limitation, for the effect of changes in accounting rules and tax law.
In 2023, we considered cumulative ABVS growth our most important measure of financial performance. For information about the relationship between cumulative ABVS and our executive compensation, please see "2022 Long-Term Equity Awards" in our CD&A.
ABVS is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a description of how we calculate this measure and a reconciliation of this measure to its nearest comparable GAAP measure, see Appendix B.
