Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote [Text Block] SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine CAP as reported in the Pay Versus Performance Table above. The following table details the applicable adjustments that were made to Summary Compensation Table totals to determine CAP after deducting the Summary Compensation Table values for the aggregate change in value of pension plans and the grant-date fair value of stock awards and option awards. The fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of stock awards and option awards was determined by reference to (x) for RSU awards, the closing price of our common stock on the applicable measurement date, (y) for PSU awards (excluding market-conditioned (relative TSR-based) PSU awards), the closing price of our common stock on the applicable measurement date multiplied by the probability of achievement as of such date and (z) for market-conditioned PSU awards, a Monte Carlo simulation as of the applicable measurement date. For stock options, the fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The model references the closing stock price, in addition to the stock option’s strike price, expected life, volatility, expected dividend yield, and risk-free rate as of the measurement date.
