| Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block] | We provide below the "pay versus performance" disclosure as required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act. We have included: • A list of the most important measures that our Compensation Committee used in 2022 to link a measure of pay, calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) (referred to as "compensation actually paid," or "CAP"), to Company performance; • A table that compares the total compensation of our NEOs as presented in the Summary Compensation Table ("SCT") to CAP and that compares CAP to specified performance measures; and • Graphs that describe: ◦ the relationship between our total shareholder return ("TSR") and the TSR of our Peer Group as defined in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis"; and ◦ the relationships between CAP and our cumulative TSR, GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, our Company selected measure. The disclosure does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the NEOs or how our Compensation Committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of Company or individual performance. In particular, our Compensation Committee has not used CAP as a basis for making compensation decisions, nor does it use GAAP Net Income, TSR, or Peer Group TSR for purposes of determining incentive compensation. Refer to our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" for a discussion of our executive compensation program objectives and the ways in which we align executive compensation pay with performance. Performance Measures Used for Linking Pay and Performance The following is a list of performance measures, which in our assessment represent the most important performance measures we use to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs for 2022. Each metric below is used for purposes of determining payouts under either our EICP or vesting of our PSUs. The role of each of these performance measures on our NEOs’ compensation is discussed in "Compensations Discussion and Analysis" in this proxy statement. In the tables above, the unvested equity values are computed in accordance with the methodology used for financial reporting purposes, and for unvested awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, based on the probable outcome of such performance-based vesting conditions as of the last day of the fiscal year. Categories with no values are excluded from the reconciliation table above, which include: Vesting Date Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted During the Year that Vested During the Year, Value of Dividends or Other Earnings on Stock or Option Awards, and Pension Service Cost. Relationship between Pay and Performance Below are graphs showing the relationship of CAP to our CEO and other NEOs in 2020, 2021 and 2022 to (1) TSR of both the Company and our peer group, (2) GAAP Net Income and (3) Adjusted EBITDA. CAP, as required under SEC rules, reflects adjusted values to unvested and vested equity awards during the years shown in the table based on year-end stock prices, various accounting valuation assumptions, and projected performance but does not reflect actual amounts paid out for those awards. CAP fluctuates due to stock price movement and varying levels of projected and actual achievement of performance goals. For a discussion of how our Compensation Committee assessed our performance and our pay each year, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement and in the proxy statements for 2020 and 2021. | | |
