(2) Amounts reflect the total compensation for our PEOs, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year. (3) The following table details the total equity award adjustments for each applicable year, including the amounts added (or subtracted, as applicable) for each PEO and non-PEO NEOs, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v). In general, the adjustments for equity awards provided in Item 402(v) are as follows: • Subtract the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year, • Add the fiscal year-end value of option and stock awards granted in the covered fiscal year which were outstanding and unvested at the end of the covered fiscal year, • Add the change in value (which may be a negative number) as of the end of the covered fiscal year as compared to the value at the end of the prior fiscal year for option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and were outstanding and unvested at the end of the covered fiscal year, • Add the vesting date value of option and stock awards which were granted and vested during the same covered fiscal year, • Add the change in value (which may be a negative number) as of the vesting date as compared to the value at the end of the prior fiscal year for option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and vested in the covered fiscal year, • Subtract as to any option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and were forfeited during the covered fiscal year, the value of such awards as of the end of the prior fiscal year, • Plus the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid during the covered fiscal year on outstanding and unvested awards. • Plus, as to any option or stock award that was materially modified during the covered fiscal year, the amount by which the value of the award as of the date of the modification exceeds the value of the original award on the modification date (none of the option or stock awards held by the named executive officers were materially modified during the fiscal years covered by the table). In making each of these adjustments, the “value” of an option or stock award is the fair value of the award on the applicable date determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the valuation assumptions we then used to calculate the fair value of our equity awards. For more information on the valuation of our equity awards, please see the notes to our financial statements that appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K each fiscal year and the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table that appears in our annual Proxy Statement.
