We do not have a defined benefit plan so no adjustment for pension benefits is included in the table below. Similarly, no adjustment is made for dividends as none were paid during the measurement period.

Mowry and Richey. See footnotes 1 and 3. (c) The recalculated value of equity awards for each applicable Covered Year includes the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable Covered Year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any equity awards granted in prior fiscal years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable Covered Year; (iii) the fair value as of the vesting date of any equity awards granted in the applicable Covered Year that vested in the Covered Year; and (iv) for equity awards granted in a prior fiscal year that vest in the applicable Covered Year, the change in the fair value as of the vesting date from the beginning of the applicable Covered Year. For purposes of the adjustments to determine “compensation actually paid”, we computed the fair value of stock option awards and restricted stock units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, other than fair values of equity awards that vested in the Covered Year, which are valued as of the applicable vesting date. Most valuation assumptions and processes used to recalculate fair values for this purpose did not materially differ from those disclosed in Note 8-Stockholders’ 10-K Option award fair values were recalculated as of each Covered Year end and vesting date, as applicable, based on the following assumptions: Fiscal Year Expected Term Volatility Risk-Free Rate 2022 2.1 - 3.7 years 67 % 3.00 % 2021 0.7 - 3.5 years 67 % 0.86 % 2020 1.4 - 2.3 years 67 % 0.53 % Performance-based award fair values were recalculated to value performance awards at target until board approval. (d) “Compensation actually paid” is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules and may be higher or lower than amounts, if any, that are actually realized by our NEOs. 3 The Non-PEO 2022 2021 2020 J.
