Pay vs Performance Disclosure [Table] |  |  |
Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | Pay versus Performance Holdings is providing the following di sclosure in accordance with the SEC’s new pay versus performance disclosure rules (the “PVP Rules”). However, we generally do not make compensation decisions based on “compensation actually paid” within the meaning of the PVP Rules, nor do we use the performance metrics that are required to be disclosed under the PVP Rules in our incentive compensation programs. In particular, we use Non-GAAP Operating Earnings, rather than net income, to determine compensation, because the nature of the products we offer result in net income volatility (as further described in the 2022 Form 10-K), and because we view the Non-GAAP Operating Earnings measure as more aligned with the underlying profitability drivers of our business than net income. Please refer to page 31 for a discussion of our incentive compensation programs, the performance objectives we utilize, and how we align pay and performance.

1. | For purposes of this disclosure, “PEO” refers to Principal (or Chief) Executive Officer.
2. | To calculate Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) for each year, the “ Summary Compensation Table ” (SCT) total compensation amount for such year was adjusted by (1) deducting certain amounts from the SCT total, as shown in tables A and B below, (2) adding the equity component of CAP amounts, as shown in tables C and D below, and (3) adding the pension component of CAP amounts (i.e., service costs and prior service costs for the applicable year), which, for the PEO, were $465,238 for 2022, $477,973 for 2021, and $422,757 for 2020, and for non-PEO NEOs, averaged $130,323 for 2022, $133,038 for 2021, and $101,308 for 2020.
3. | Mark Pearson was the PEO in 2020, 2021 and 2022. 2022 non-PEO NEOs include Robin Raju, Jeff Hurd, Nick Lane and Seth Bernstein. 2021 non-PEO NEOs include Anders Malmstrom (departed March 31, 2021), Robin Raju (promoted April 1, 2021), Jeff Hurd, Nick Lane and Seth Bernstein. 2020 non-PEO NEOs include Anders Malmstrom, Jeff Hurd, Nick Lane and Seth Bernstein.
