Pay versus Performance
As required by Item 402(v) of
Regulation S-K, we
are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last three completed calendar years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” (“
CAP
”) 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 required in the Summary Compensation Table.

The dollar amounts reported in this column are the amounts of total compensation reported for our Principal Executive Officer (“
PEO
”) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table, which for each of 2022, 2021 and 2020, was Mr. Johnson.
(2)
The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to our PEO for the applicable fiscal year, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K.
The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to such executives during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
the adjustments set forth below were made to the total compensation for each year to determine the compensation actually paid. Adjusted fair values have been determined using, as applicable, updated stock price and assumptions (i.e., term, volatility, dividend yield, risk free rates) as of the measurement date.

Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. Peer group TSR is based on the Russell 1000 Index.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block] Net income is not a metric currently used in our compensation program.    
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure [Text Block] Although AOP is a metric in our annual VIP cash bonuses, it may have less of a relationship to CAP because of the impact of stock price on equity award valuations.
