1 |  | The amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table total compensation figures for Nishan J. Vartanian, our principal executive officer (“PEO”), for each of the years listed. The Non-PEO NEOs for whom the Summary Compensation Table total average compensation is presented are: for 2023, Lee B. McChesney, Steven C. Blanco, Bob W. Leenen and Stephanie L. Sciullo; for 2022, Lee B. McChesney, Jonathan D. Buck, Kenneth D. Krause, Steven C. Blanco, Bob W. Leenen and Stephanie L. Sciullo; for 2021, Kenneth D. Krause, Steven C. Blanco, Bob W. Leenen and Stephanie L. Sciullo; and for 2020, Kenneth D. Krause, Steven C. Blanco, Bob W. Leenen and Stephanie L. Sciullo.
2 |  | The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually realized or received by such persons. These amounts reflect total compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above for each year, adjusted as described in footnote 3 below.
3 |  | Compensation Actually Paid reflects the exclusions and inclusions from the Summary Compensation Table total for our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs as set forth below. Amounts excluded, which are set forth in the “Exclusion of Stock Awards, Forfeited Awards and Change in Pension Value” columns in each of the PEO Compensation Actually Paid and the Non-PEO NEOs Compensation Actually Paid tables below in this footnote (3), are the aggregate of the amounts shown in the “Stock Awards” and “Change in Pension Value” columns from the Summary Compensation Table. Amounts included, which are set forth in the “Inclusion of Equity Award Adjustments and Pension Service Cost” columns in each of such tables below in this footnote (3), are the aggregate of the following components:
| i. |  | Add the fair value as of the end of the year of unvested equity awards granted in that year;
| ii. |  | Add the change in fair value (if positive, or subtract if negative) as of the end of the year (from the end of the prior year) of equity awards granted in prior years that remained outstanding and unvested at the end of the year;
| iii. |  | Add the change in fair value (if positive, or subtract if negative) as of the vesting date during the year (from the end of the prior year) of equity awards granted in prior years that vested during that year;
| iv. |  | Subtract the fair value at the end of the prior year for awards granted in prior years that forfeited or failed to meet applicable vesting conditions during the covered year; and
| v. |  | Add the pension service cost (which is calculated as the actuarial present value of each NEO’s benefit under all plans reported in the “Changes to Pension Value” in the Summary Compensation Table, attributable to services rendered during the covered year).
4 |  | The column amounts were adjusted from previously reported amounts to reflect relative TSR consistent with SEC rules adopted in 2023.
Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The following types of equity award adjustments were not applicable to Company equity awards, as such events did not occur: (i) adjustments for awards that are granted and vest in the same covered year, and (ii) adjustments for the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock awards in the covered year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise included in the total compensation for the covered year. There were no adjustments required for prior pension service cost (which is calculated as the entire cost of benefits granted (or credit for benefits reduced) in a plan amendment (or initiation) during the covered year that are attributed by the benefit formula to services rendered in periods prior to the amendment).
