[2] | The Pay Versus Performance table reflects required disclosures for fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020.
[3] | The amounts include both Performance Shares and Restricted Stock Unit awards.
[4] | The Average Compensation Actually Paid was calculated by averaging the following, when applicable, by year, for the non-PEO NEOs: SCT total then deducting the aggregate change in actuarial present value of their accumulated benefit under all defined benefit and actuarial pension plans reported in the SCT; deducting the amounts reported in the SCT for performance share and restricted stock unit awards; adding the pension service cost; adding the fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal year of all awards granted during the fiscal year that are outstanding and unvested as of the fiscal year-end; adding the amount equal to the change in fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal, whether positive or negative, of any awards granted in any prior fiscal year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the covered fiscal year; and adding the amount equal to the change in fair value as of the vesting date, whether positive or negative, of any award granted in any prior fiscal year for which all applicable vesting conditions were satisfied at the end of or during the covered fiscal year. Relative to CAP, the following amounts were deducted from and added to SCT total compensation: Average Non-PEO SCT Total to CAP Reconciliation:
