For further information on the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how executive compensation aligns with our performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement.

(2) In accordance with Item 402(v) requirements, the fair values of unvested and outstanding equity awards were remeasured as of the end of each fiscal year, and as of each vesting date, during the years displayed in the tables below. For PSUs with a relative TSR metric, the fair values as of each measurement date (prior to the end of the performance period) were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, with assumptions and methodologies that are generally consistent with those used to estimate fair value at grant under U.S. GAAP. For PSUs with a non-TSR metric, fair values reflect the probable outcome of the performance vesting conditions as of each measurement date. For each fiscal year reflected, the “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to the PEO and the average CAP to the non-PEO NEOs reflect the following adjustments made to the total compensation amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable fiscal year, computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.
