Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure [Text Block]

Actually Paid versus Company Performance. The relationship between compensation actually paid and our company’s financial performance over the three-year period shown in the table above is described in the following bullet points.

Chief Executive Officer

· From 2021 to 2022, compensation actually paid to our CEO decreased by $1.3 million or 66.6%. Over this same period, our company’s TSR decreased by 26.8%, net income decreased by 37.7%, and TBV increased by 4.8%. The key factor that drove the changes in compensation actually paid during the year was a decrease in equity value which is based on the Company’s stock performance at various dates during the year, partially offset by increases in salary and discretionary bonus.

· From 2020 to 2021, compensation actually paid to the CEO increased by $1.0 million, or 111.3%. Over this same period, the company’s TSR increased by 76.8%, net income increased by 154.9%, and TBV increased by 19.4%. The key factors that drove the changes in compensation actually paid were an increase in discretionary bonus and the positive TSR performance for the company in 2021 impacting stock values, creating the majority of the overall increase as shown in the table.

Other Named Executive Officers

· From 2021 to 2022, compensation actually paid to the other NEOs decreased by $571,000 or 64.2%. Over this same period, our company’s TSR decreased by 26.8%, net income decreased by 37.7%, and TBV increased by 4.8%. The key factor that drove the changes in compensation actually paid over this period was a decrease in equity value which is based on the Company’s stock performance at various dates during the year, partially offset by increases in salary, including the impact of leadership transitions within the NEO group, and discretionary bonus for each NEO.

· From 2020 to 2021, compensation actually paid to the other NEOs increased by $436,000 or 95.9%. Over this same period, the company’s TSR increased by 76.8%, net income increased by 154.9%, and TBV increased by 19.4%. The key factors that drove the changes in compensation actually paid were an increase in discretionary bonuses and the positive TSR performance for the company in 2021 impacting stock values, creating the majority of the overall increase as shown in the table.

Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block] We determined Growth in Tangible Book Value (“TBV”) to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our CEO and Non-CEO NEOs in 2022. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2021 and 2020 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
