Pay Versus Performance
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship between the “Compensation Actually Paid” (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) to our CEO and non-CEO NEOs (as a group) and certain financial performance measures. The amounts of  “Compensation Actually Paid” reflect the Summary Compensation Table total with certain adjustments as described in the following table and footnotes. We discuss our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.
