Additional 402(v) Disclosure Except as described in footnote (3) below, fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the "Compensation Actually Paid" columns was calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718, and the valuation methods used to calculate the fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant.For the portion of "Compensation Actually Paid" that represents compensation based on year-end stock prices, the following prices were used: for 2023, $11.30 (28% increase from prior year); for 2022, $8.83 (72% reduction from prior year); for 2021, $31.36 (304% increase from IPO date); and for 2020, $7.77 (which is prior to the IPO date, and was based on the active 409A price as of that date).
We believe the “Compensation Actually Paid” in each of the years reported above is reflective of the Compensation Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” as the “Compensation Actually Paid” is in line with business performance, primarily due our stock price performance and our achievement against pre-established performance goals under our Annual Bonus Plan. See “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for additional information regarding our Annual Bonus Plan and other elements of our executive compensation program.
