The following tables and related disclosures provide information about (i) the “total compensation” of our principal executive officers (the “PEOs”) and our other named executive officers (the “Non-PEO Named Executive Officers”) as presented in the Summary Compensation Table on page 32 (the “SCT Amounts”), (ii) the “compensation actually paid” to our PEOs and our Non-PEO Named Executive Officers, as calculated pursuant to the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rules (the “CAP Amounts”), (iii) certain financial performance measures, and (iv) the relationship of the CAP Amounts to those financial performance measures. This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the executives or how our Compensation Committee and the CEO or President & CEO, as applicable, make compensation decisions in light of Company or individual performance. For discussion of how our Compensation Committee and the CEO or President & CEO, as applicable, make compensation decisions, please see “Executive and Director Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 20.
