PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

The following table shows the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and other named executive officers, including the Chief Legal Officer, Secretary & Senior Advisor and the Chief Strategy Officer and President of Cineverse Corp. (“Non-PEO NEOs”), and certain financial performance of the Company during the last three fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The data included in the CAP columns does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or paid to our executive officers during the applicable fiscal year on a cash or under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US GAAP"), and it is reported solely pursuant to SEC rules. The CAP amount also does not represent amounts that have actually been earned or realized under US GAAP, including with respect to PSUs and SARs. Performance conditions for these equity awards have not yet been satisfied. To this end, information in the following table may not reflect whether compensation actually realized is aligned with performance.

For a more fulsome discussion of our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy and performance measures, see “Executive Officer and Director Compensation.”
