Pay vs Performance Disclosure [Table]

The following table summarizes compensation values reported in the Summary Compensation Table for our Chief Executive Officer, also known as principal executive officer ("PEO"), and the average of our other NEOs as compared to "compensation actually paid" during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. In determining the "compensation actually paid" to our NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years, as the SEC's valuation methods for this section differ from those that are required to be applied in the Summary Compensation Table.

Fair values of equity awards set forth in the table above are computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 as of the end of the respective fiscal year, other than fair values of equity awards that vest in the covered year, which are valued as of the applicable vesting date.

(3) The following adjustments relating to defined benefit and pension plans (as applicable) were made to total compensation for each year to determine CAP:


	Reported Values Deducted		Calculated Values Added
Year	PEO	Non-PEO NEOs	PEO	Non-PEO NEOs
2022	$0	$0	$0	$0
2021	$0	$0	$0	$0
2020	$163,489	$0	$0	$0

(4) Represents the total cumulative shareholder return for $100 invested on December 31, 2019 (assuming that all dividends were reinvested) in common shares of the Company against the cumulative total return of the IMAX Peer Group to the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. IMAX's 2022 peer group consisted of Ambarella, Inc., Avid Technologies, Inc., Cinemark Holdings, Inc., Cineplex Inc., Dolby Laboratories, Inc., Harmonic Inc., Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., The Marcus Corporation, and World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (the "2022 Peer Group"). IMAX's 2021 peer group consisted of the 2022 Peer Group and Zynga Inc. IMAX's 2020 peer group consisted of the 2022 Peer Group, Glu Mobile Inc. and Zynga Inc. Glu Mobile Inc. and Zynga Inc. were excluded from the peer group list, as applicable, because they were acquired in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

(5) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income attributable to common shareholders reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year (U.S. GAAP Net Income).

(6) Based on the Company assessment, Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure most closely linked to the calculation of CAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP Financial Measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" on page 90 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP measurements to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure and a description of how the non-GAAP numbers are calculated from our audited financial statements.
