Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) totals to determine compensation actually paid (CAP) as reported in the Pay Versus Performance Table. CAP does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. The PEO and NEOs do not participate in a defined benefit plan, so no adjustment for pension benefits is included in the table below. The following table details these adjustments from the SCT total compensation to determine CAP in 2024:
