Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay Versus Performance The following table and supporting graphics below set out information regarding fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 in satisfaction of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company’s compensation programs have a history of aligning pay and performance. This is demonstrated in the Company selected measure listed below: Growth in Book Value per Share, which focuses on year-over-year increases in total shareholders’ equity through earnings and our ability to return capital to shareholders. Growth in Book Value per Share serves as the basis for a performance metric for our long term equity incentive program—the largest component of compensation for our chief executive officer and a significant component of compensation for our other named executive officers. For detail on the Company’s executive compensation programs, see the CD&A section beginning on page 29.
