The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting September 30, 2020, through the end of the listed fiscal year in the Company and in the S&P 500 Information Technology Index, respectively. Historical stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
5. | We determined Revenue to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in fiscal 2023. This financial performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal 2022 and 2021 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
