For purposes of the pension valuation adjustments shown below, there was no pension service or prior service cost. In addition, for purposes of the equity award adjustments shown below, no equity awards were granted and vested in 2024 and no dividends or other earnings were paid on equity awards that were not reflected in the fair value of the equity awards. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values of equity awards did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The following table details the applicable adjustments that were made to determine “Compensation Actually Paid” for 2024 (all amounts are averages for the named executive officers other than the CEO):

(3) Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between our Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by our Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. The beginning of the measurement period for each year in the table is December 31, 2019. (4) Represents the peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the Comparator Companies as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. (5) Our company selected measure is Return on Equity, which is defined as net income attributable to our Company divided by average invested stockholders’ equity (total equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and noncontrolling interests), excluding net gains/losses from the investment portfolio; net gains/losses from the venture investment portfolio; purchase related amortization of intangible assets; and, in the discretion of the Committee, excluding the effects of non-operating items, such as asset impairments and legal settlements. |  |  |  |  |  |
