Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote |
(2) | The table below describes the adjustments, each of which is required by SEC rules, to calculate the CAP amounts from the SCT Totals of our PEO (columns (b) and (c)) and the average CAP amounts from the average SCT Totals of the Other NEOs (columns (d) and (e)). The SCT Totals and CAP amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our named executive officers during the applicable years. In accordance with SEC rules, values for awards that vested on December 31, 2024 and awards that were outstanding and unvested as of December 31, 2024 were based on the $60.50 closing price of Delta common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2024. If the values of the awards were based on average closing price of Delta common stock on the NYSE from March 5, 2025 to April 15, 2025 (i.e., $45.06), then the CAP amount for the PEO would have been $39,739,925.
