(1)Amounts in this column in fiscal 2022 represent a special cash bonus paid in support of integration efforts related to the Mergers. Amounts in this column in fiscal 2021 represent the special cash bonus paid in special recognition of the effort and work related to the Mergers and integration work related to the Mergers.
(2)Amounts listed in these columns represent the grant date fair value of stock awards and option awards recognized by us under FASB ASC Topic 718, disregarding estimated forfeitures, rather than amounts realized by the named individuals. For valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair value of our stock and option awards, see Note 6 “Share-Based Compensation” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022.
(3)Performance-based RSUs granted under our LTI program provide an opportunity for co-workers to receive common stock if a performance measure is met for the three-year or two-year performance period. If the minimum performance measure is not met, no award is earned. If at least the minimum performance measure is attained, awards can range from 50% of the target number of shares to 200% of the target number of shares underlying the performance-based RSUs. The amounts in the table above reflect the aggregate grant date fair values at the target number of the performance-based RSUs granted under our LTI program described in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table Narrative on page 51, calculated in accordance with accounting guidance. Messrs. Hume and Zammit did not participate in our LTI program for fiscal year 2021 due to their joining our company in September 2021 and their continued participation in legacy Tech Data compensation programs. Messrs. Hume and Polk did not participate in the fiscal year 2022 LTI program.
If our performance results in a future payout of the performance-based RSUs at the maximum level, the grant date fair value of the performance-based RSUs would have been as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
NEO | Fiscal Year 2022 (3-Year LTI) | Fiscal Year 2021 (2-Year LTI) | Fiscal Year 2021 (3-Year LTI) |
Mr. Hume | - | - | - |
Mr. Witt | $484,649 | $416,590 | $416,590 |
Mr. Polk | - | $1,208,262 | $1,208,262 |
Mr. Urban | $853,034 | $733,289 | $733,289 |
Mr. Zammit | $892,147 | - | - |
The aggregate grant date fair value of the stock awards granted (including performance-based RSUs and restricted stock) would have been as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
NEO | Fiscal Year 2022 | Fiscal Year 2021 |
Mr. Hume | $2,249,948 | - |
Mr. Witt | $1,204,597 | $3,032,951 |
Mr. Polk | $1,033,226 | $10,577,226 |
Mr. Urban | $1,633,578 | $2,611,449 |
Mr. Zammit | $1,966,505 | - |
Due to the impending spin-off of the Concentrix business, no LTI awards were granted in 2020. For additional information on grant date fair value and estimated future payouts of stock awards, see the 2022 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 50, and to see the value of stock awards actually realized by the named executive officers in fiscal 2022, see the 2022 Option Exercises and Stock Vested table on page 55.
(4)For each fiscal year, amounts in this column represent performance-based bonus awards under the Management Incentive Plan earned in that fiscal year, but paid in the subsequent fiscal year, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 35.
(5)The following outlines all other additional compensation for fiscal year 2022 required by SEC rules to be separately quantified. The dividend amounts in this column represent the dollar value of dividends paid during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022 (as part of a dividend paid to all of our stockholders) on unvested restricted stock awards; such dividends were not factored into the grant date fair value of stock awards required to be reported in the stock awards column of the table.
(6)Mr. Hume became our President and Chief Executive Officer on September 1, 2021 and had served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Tech Data prior to that during the periods set forth in this table.
(7)For Mr. Hume, Company contributions to 401(k) retirement savings plan of $9,150.
(8)For Mr. Hume, Company contributions of $20,000 to the legacy Tech Data Executive Choice Plan and long-term incentive cash award of $3,115,000 paid by the Company, granted pre-merger by legacy Tech Data, triggered by the change of control of legacy Tech Data on September 1, 2021 due to the Mergers
(9)Due to the Company’s pending spin-off of the Concentrix business in December 2020, for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, annual equity grants to co-workers, including executive officers, were structured so that the co-workers had no vested right to underlying equity before January 2021, although they received service credit from October 2020. Therefore, these annual equity grants were not included in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal 2020, but they are included in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal 2021.
(10)For Mr. Witt, Company contributions to 401(k) retirement savings plan of $9,150 and dividend payments on unvested RSAs of $25,961.
(11)Mr. Polk was our President and Chief Executive Officer from March 1, 2018 until September 1, 2021 and has been Executive Chair since September 1, 2021.

(14)Mr. Zammit became President, Europe and APJ on September 1, 2021 and had served as President, Europe of Tech Data prior to that during the periods set forth in this table. The dollar value of Mr. Zammit’s compensation has been calculated using a weighted average Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate.

Belgium in the amount of $113,776; $22,899 for use of a Company-provided vehicle; $1,086 of medical/hospitalization insurance; $10,230 for fees paid to service provider for services related to Mr. Zammit’s tax returns; and $254 for travel related insurance.
