Pay vs Performance Disclosure |  |  |
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay vs. Performance As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following table and accompanying narrative sets forth information concerning the compensation of our NEOs for each of the last three fiscal years and our financial performance for each such year in accordance with the SEC’s pay versus performance (“PVP”) disclosure rules. Under the PVP rules, the SEC has developed a new definition of pay, referred to as compensation actually paid (“CAP”), which is compared here to certain performance measures defined by the SEC. The Committee does not use CAP as a basis for making compensation decisions, nor does it use the performance measures defined by the SEC for the PVP table to measure performance for incentive plan purposes. Refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for details on how we align pay with performance.

(2) | 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 (“SCT”) in previous years, as the SEC’s required valuation methods for this disclosure differ from those required in the SCT. The table below provides the adjustments to the SCT total compensation made to arrive at the compensation actually paid for the PEO and the average for Non-PEO NEOs. The amounts below for performance shares assume that the targeted award is earned, with actual amounts used for the year in which the award vests.
