Pay vs Performance Disclosure |  |  |  |
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay Versus Performance Under rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to disclose certain information about the relationship between the compensation actually paid to our named executive officers and certain measures of company performance. The material that follows is provided in compliance with these rules; however, additional information regarding our compensation philosophy, the structure of our performance-based compensation programs, and compensation decisions made this year is described above in our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The following table provides information regarding compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer, or PEO, and other NEOs for each year from 2020 to 2023, compared to our total stockholder return (“TSR”) from December 31, 2019 through the end of each such year, and our Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA for each such year.

​ (1) Mr. Littlefair was the CEO for each of 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. ​ (2) SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine “compensation actually paid” as reported in the Pay versus Performance Table. “Compensation actually paid” does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. In general, “compensation actually paid” is calculated as Summary Compensation Table total compensation adjusted to include the fair market value of equity awards as of December 31 of the applicable year or, if earlier, the vesting date (rather than the grant date). NEOs do not participate in a defined benefit plan so no adjustment for pension benefits is included in the table below. Similarly, no adjustment is made for dividends as dividends are factored into the fair value of the award. Finally, there were no equity awards which were granted and vested in the same year, other than the award of profits interest granted to Mr. Pratt in 2023 under the CLNE PlasmaFlow Holdings, LLC 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. The following table details these adjustments: ​
