  (a)

We have not reported any amounts in our Summary Compensation Table with respect to “Change in Pension and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” and, accordingly, the adjustments with respect to such items prescribed by the pay-versus-performance rules are not relevant to our analysis and no adjustments have been made. 

 

 

(b)

 

The amounts reflect the aggregate grant-date fair value reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year, as well as the "Subsidiary Stock Options" column of the Other Compensation table breakdown.

  (c)

In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the fair values of unvested and outstanding equity awards to our named executive officers were re-measured as of the end of each fiscal year, and as of each vesting date, during the years displayed in the table above. We approached the determination of fair value in the same way as we historically have determined fair value and fair values as of each measurement date were determined using valuation assumptions and methodologies (including expected term, volatility, and risk-free interest rates) that are generally consistent with those used to estimate fair value at the grant date under U.S. GAAP. See “Stock-based Compensation Expense” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for additional details.

Amounts reflected in this column represents the average “Total Compensation” from the SCT and CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs as a group for the covered years.

 

(4)

 

The dollar amounts reported in column (g) represent the cumulative peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the following published industry index: RDG Internet Composite Index. 

(5)

We identified Adjusted EBITDA as our Company-Selected Measure that represents, in our view, the most important measure used to link CAP to performance.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. 

   
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
Narrative to the Pay versus Performance Table

 

As discussed in our disclosures under the “Incentive bonus program” section of this proxy statement, Adjusted EBITDA was the only performance measure used directly in the calculation of compensation paid for Fiscal 2020, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022. Beginning in Fiscal 2023, the Company has replaced Adjusted EBITDA incentive bonus targets with segment targets that are more individually aligned to each NEO's ability to impact Company performance and drive long-term EBITDA growth. 

 

The following graphic depicts the relationship of the CAP received by our PEO and other NEOs in Fiscal 2020, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022 to the Company’s Cumulative TSR. It also compares the Company’s Cumulative TSR with its Peer Group’s Cumulative TSR.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure

Relationship between CAP, the Companys Adjusted EBITDA for FY 2020-2022

 

The following graph demonstrates the relationship of the amount of compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Noss) with the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA over the three fiscal years presented in the table. It should be noted that Adjusted EBITDA targets used to determine CAP in Fiscal 2022 were lowered to reflect the expected impact of accelerated build of our Ting Fiber Network and scaling up of operations on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.

Tabular List, Table
Required Tabular Disclosure of Most Important Measures to Determine CAP

 

The list below includes the one financial performance measure that in our assessment represents the most important financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers, for Fiscal 2022, to company performance. There is the only one performance measure included in the below list because our named executive officers’ compensation was only linked to this financial performance measure in Fiscal 2022.
