(i)
The dollar amounts reported are the amounts of total compensation reported for our PEO(s) in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal years 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
(ii)
The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of CAP, as computed in accordance with SEC rules. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amounts of compensation paid to our PEO(s) or other NEOs during the applicable year, but also include (i) the year-end value of equity awards granted during the reported year, and (ii) the change in the value of equity awards that were unvested at the end of the prior year, measured through the date the awards vested or were forfeited, or through the end of the reported fiscal year along with changes in pension value and nonqualified deferred compensation earnings. The tables below provide fuller details.
(iii)
The numbers in these columns have been revised from the numbers previously reported in last year’s “Pay versus Performance Table” in order to correct an administrative error.
(iv)
Company and Peer Group total shareholder return as shown in last year’s disclosure has been adjusted to reflect the weighted average TSR. Our 2024 Peer Group Index includes the companies of: Andersons, Inc., B&G Foods, Inc., Boston Beer Company, Inc., Fresh Del Monte Produce, Inc., Hain Celestial Group, Inc., J&J Snack Foods, Corp., John B Sanfilippo & Son, Inc., and Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (formerly Landec, Corp.) Our 2021 — 2023 Peer Group Index also included Hostess Brands, Inc. which was acquired November 7, 2023 and as a result did not have a market value at the end of fiscal year 2024. The comparable cumulative total shareholder return for the prior peer group for the periods starting on October 31, 2020 and ending on October 31 of the following years would be: 2021 ($89.17), 2022 ($72.81), 2023 ($73.40), and not applicable for 2024.
(v)
Adjusted Net Income is the financial measure that the Company believes to be the most important measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) it used in the most recent fiscal year to link CAP to all of the NEOs as reported below.
The PEOs and other NEOs included in the above compensation columns are comprised of the following:
