(including performance bonuses, sales commissions and special or “spot” bonuses) and equity awards received and annualized for the
12-month
period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. We annualized the cash compensation for our employees (other than any temporary or seasonal employees) in the applicable employee population who were hired during such
12-month
period and thus had not worked the full
12-month
period. With respect to equity awards, we determined the grant date fair value of RSUs, performance-based RSUs and options awarded during fiscal 2020 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant for RSUs, the Monte Carlo valuation method for performance-based RSUs and the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options.
In determining our employee population, we considered the individuals other than our CEO who were employed by us on June 30, 2020, whether employed in a full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary capacity. We did not include any contractors, agency workers or other nonemployees.
For employees paid other than in U.S. dollars, we converted their compensation to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2020. For employees working outside the United States, we applied to this calculation
differentials we obtained from third-party sources. The
adjustment factor we used in calculating our employees’ annual total compensation came from a publicly-available database of
data (available at
www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/
for our
non-U.S.
employees.
Having thus calculated fiscal 2020 total compensation for each employee, we ranked the employees by that measure and identified the individual, an employee in our Shanghai, China office, with the median total annual compensation of our employee population. We then calculated the total fiscal 2020 compensation for this individual using the same methodology we use to calculate the fiscal 2020 amount reported for our CEO in the “Total” column of the Fiscal 2020 Summary Compensation Table as set forth in this Amendment No. 1.
As disclosed in the Fiscal 2020 Summary Compensation Table, the total fiscal 2020 compensation we paid for our CEO was $1,660,852. The total fiscal 2020 compensation we paid for our median employee was $150,513. Thus, the ratio of our CEO’s total fiscal 2020 compensation to our median employee’s total fiscal 2020 compensation was 11.0 to 1. Had we not applied a
adjustment factor in identifying our median employee, our median employee would have been in our Cluj, Romania office, the employee’s total fiscal 2020 compensation would have been $58,039, and the ratio of our CEO’s annual total fiscal 2020 compensation to our median employee’s total fiscal 2020 compensation would have been 28.6 to 1.
Because SEC rules for identifying the median employee allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee population and compensation practices, the pay ratios reported by other companies may not be directly comparable to our pay ratio, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may have used different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their pay ratios.
