Pay Versus Performance

Overview

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between “compensation actually paid” to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and the average of our other NEOs and certain of our financial performance measures. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not fully represent the actual final amount of compensation earned by, or paid to, our NEOs during the applicable years.

The Compensation Committee did not use the information displayed in the tables below, including the calculation of compensation actually paid, as a basis for making compensation decisions. For further information regarding Atlanticus’ compensation philosophy, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

The table below sets forth additional compensation information for our NEOs, calculated in accordance with SEC regulations, for fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020:
