Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table |  |  | PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE The following table sets forth the compensation for our Principal Executive Officers (the “PEOs”) and the average compensation for our other named executive officers, both as reported in the Summary Compensation Table and with certain adjustments to reflect the “compensation actually paid” to such individuals, as defined under SEC rules, for each of 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The table also provides information on our cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”), the cumulative TSR of our peer group, Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as used for our 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 AIP.

(1) | Compensation for our PEOs reflects the amounts reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” for the respective years. Our PEOs were (i) in 2023 Thomas J. Appio; (ii) in 2022, Thomas J. Appio and Joseph C. Papa and (ii) in 2021 and 2020, Joseph C. Papa. Average compensation for non-PEOs includes the following named executive officers: (i) in 2023, John S. Barresi, Seana Carson and Tom G. Vadaketh, (ii) in 2022, Tom G. Vadaketh, Seana Carson, Robert A. Spurr, Sam A. Eldessouky and Christina Ackermann, (iii) in 2021, Thomas J. Appio, Robert A. Spurr, Sam A. Eldessouky, Christina M. Ackermann, and Paul S. Herendeen and (iv) in 2020, Thomas J. Appio, Paul S. Herendeen, Christina M. Ackermann, and William D. Humphries.
(2) | Compensation “actually paid” for the PEO and average compensation “actually paid” for our other NEOs in 2023 reflects adjustments to the amounts in the “Summary Compensation Table” as follows in the table below, as determined in accordance with SEC rules. These dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the PEOs and our other NEOs during the applicable year. A significant portion of the compensation “actually paid” to our NEOs is comprised of equity awards whose value is directly tied to the value of our Common Shares. For certain of the years covered by the Pay Versus Performance Table, the compensation “actually paid” to our PEO and our other NEOs was below zero as a result of the decrease in the price of our Common Shares and associated decreases in the fair value of unvested equity awards during the year. For information regarding the decisions made by the Talent and Compensation Committee for the PEO’s and our other NEOs’ compensation for fiscal year 2023, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 39. Fair values set forth in the table below are computed in accordance with ASC 718 as of the end of the respective fiscal year, other than fair values of awards that vest or forfeit in the covered year, which are valued as of the applicable vesting dates and fair values as of the end of the preceding fiscal year, respectively. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant other than the expected term and the related expected volatilities and risk-free rates that have been adjusted to reflect the passage of time.
