The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”), as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K
and do not reflect the actual amounts of compensation earned by or paid to our NEOs during the applicable fiscal year. For purposes of calculating “compensation actually paid,” the fair value of equity awards is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the same assumption methodologies used to calculate the grant date fair value of awards for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table (refer to “Executive Compensation — Summary Compensation Table” for additional information). The following table shows the amounts deducted from and added to the Summary Compensation Table total compensation to calculate the “compensation actually paid” to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation

Ciena and Peer Group total shareholder return (“TSR”) is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment through the end of the listed fiscal year. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table was determined using the S&P North American Technology-Multimedia Networking Index, a published industry or
line-of-business
index which we also used in preparing the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation
S-K
for our 2023 Annual Report.

We have determined that revenue is the financial performance measure that, in Ciena’s assessment, represents the most important financial performance measure used to link “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs for fiscal 2023 to company performance.

Tabular List, Table
Tabular list of financial performance measures
The table below lists the financial performance measures that the Compensation Committee believes represent the most important financial performance measures used to link “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs to Ciena’s performance for fiscal 2023. Revenue and Adjusted Operating Income are the financial performance measures used to determine performance-based cash bonuses under the Annual Cash Incentive Bonus Plan, aggregate sales orders and adjusted earnings per share are the financial performance measures used to determine the earning of PSU awards, and total stockholder return is the financial performance measure used to determine the earning of MSU awards. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for a further description of our executive compensation program. The performance measures included in this table are not ranked by relative importance.
