Pay Versus Performance Table
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 and certain financial performance of the Company. The table below reflects Compensation Actually Paid to the Company’s “CEO” and average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-CEO NEOs during 2019 through 2023. In addition, the table compares the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) against peer group TSR using S&P 500 Industrials (sector comparison). For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.
