(3) | In 2020, 2021 and 2022, neither our CEO nor any non-CEO NEO had any awards that vested in the same year that they were granted, any awards granted in prior years that failed to meet the applicable vesting conditions, or any dividends or other earnings paid on equity awards in the covered fiscal year prior to vesting that are not reflected in total compensation for the applicable year, and therefore, no adjustments for those items were included in calculating compensation “actually paid.” Further, in 2020, 2021 and 2022, neither our CEO nor any non-CEO NEO received any benefit under any defined benefit and actuarial plans and therefore, no adjustments for those items were included in calculating compensation “actually paid.”
(4) | In 2020, the non-CEO NEOs consisted of Robert J. Shillman, Paul D. Todgham, Carl W. Gerst III, Sheila M. DiPalma and Laura A. MacDonald. In 2021, the non-CEO NEOs consisted of Robert J.

(7) | Operating margin is defined as our operating income as a percentage of revenue. While we consider numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating and determining executive compensation, we consider operating margin, which is a primary factor used to determine annual cash incentive compensation for our NEOs, to be the most important performance measure used to link compensation “actually paid” to the NEOs to company performance.
