Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | Pay Versus Performance This section should be read in conjunction with the Compensation Discussion & Analysis in this Proxy Statement, which includes additional discussion of the objectives of our executive compensation program and how they are aligned with the Company’s financial and operational performance. As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (as defined by SEC rules) (CAP) and certain financial performance measures of the Company. For further information concerning our pay for performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of this Proxy Statement.

| “Compensation Actually Paid” does not correlate to the total amount of cash or equity compensation realized during each fiscal year and is different from “realizable” or “realized” compensation as reported in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis. Instead, it is a nuanced calculation that includes the increase or decrease in value of certain elements of compensation over each fiscal year, including compensation granted in a prior year, in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The amount of compensation ultimately received may, in fact, be different from the amounts disclosed in these columns of the Pay Versus Performance Table.
