“Compensation actually paid” reflects the Summary Compensation Table Total with certain exclusions and inclusions of certain amounts for the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K as set forth below. In order to calculate the “compensation actually paid”, we have subtracted the following amounts from the value in the corresponding Summary Compensation Table totals, which reflect the grant date fair value for performance and time vesting Restricted Share Units granted in the indicated year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and excluding any estimated forfeitures.

We determined Adjusted EBITDA to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to “compensation actually paid” to our CEOs and Non-CEO NEOs in 2024, as required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior years and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss) is included in Appendix B.
