The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our PEO and other NEOs for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and our financial performance for each such fiscal year. Value of Initial Fixed $100 Investment Based On (4) : Year Summary Compensation Table for PEO (1)(2) Compensation Actually Paid to PEO (3) Average Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO NEOs (2) Average Compensation Actually Paid to non-PEO NEOs (3) Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Peer Group TSR (3)(7) Net (Loss) Income (5) Company Selected Measure (6) 2022 $ 747,416 $ ( 192,950 ) $ 462,705 $ ( 268,611 ) $ ( 79 ) $ ( 50 ) $ ( 101,146,000 ) NA 2021 $ 732,981 $ 191,642 $ 1,147,786 $ 784,845 $ 3 $ ( 20 ) $ ( 9,079,000 ) NA 2020 $ 4,119,892 $ 3,099,558 $ 2,068,690 $ 1,797,356 $ 63 $ ( 2 ) $ ( 11,608,000 ) NA (1) Michael A. DeGiglio served as the principal executive officer of the Company during 2020, 2021 and 2022. (2) The dollar amounts reported as total compensation for the Company’s PEO and the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) as a group (excluding the PEO) for each corresponding year are the amounts reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table” of this Proxy Statement. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding the PEO) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2022, Stephen C. Ruffini, Ann Gillin Lefelver, Mandesh Dosanjh, Eric Janke and Bret Wiley; (ii) for 2021, Stephen C. Ruffini, Mandesh Dosanjh, Orville Bovenschen and Derin Gemmel; and (iii) for 2020, Stephen C. Ruffini and Mandesh Dosanjh. (3) The dollar amounts reported as “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s PEO and the average amount reported as “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO), are computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to such PEO or the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO) during the applicable year. The valuation methodologies and assumptions used when calculating the equity values included in the compensation actually paid are not materially different than those used when calculating the amounts included in the Summary Compensation Table. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to the PEO’s total compensation and the average total compensation of the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid: Year PEO or NEOs Reported Summary Compensation Table Total Minus Reported Value of Equity Awards (a) Plus Fair Value at Fiscal Year-end of Outstanding and Unvested Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in the Fiscal Year Plus Change in Fair Value of Outstanding and Unvested Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in Prior Fiscal Years Plus Fair Value at Vesting of Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in Fiscal Year that Vested During Fiscal Year Plus Change in Fair Value as of Vesting Date of Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in Prior Fiscal Years for Which Applicable Vesting Conditions Were Satisfied During Fiscal Year Minus Fair Value as of Prior Fiscal Year-End of Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in Prior Fiscal Years that Failed to Meet Applicable Vesting Conditions During Fiscal Year Plus Value of Dividends or Earnings Paid on Equity Awards in the Fiscal Year that are not Otherwise Reflected in the Value of Total Compensation Equals Compensation Actually Paid 2022 PEO $ 747,416 $ — $ — $ ( 468,000 ) $ — $ ( 472,366 ) $ — $ — $ ( 192,950 ) 2022 NEOs $ 462,705 $ 395,000 $ 90,000 $ ( 257,316 ) $ — $ ( 169,000 ) $ — $ — $ ( 268,611 ) 2021 PEO $ 732,981 $ — $ — $ ( 1,069,669 ) $ — $ 528,330 $ — $ — $ 191,642 2021 NEOs $ 1,147,786 $ 277,502 $ 41,450 $ ( 268,222 ) $ — $ 141,333 $ — $ — $ 784,845 2020 PEO $ 4,119,892 $ 906,000 $ 249,000 $ ( 267,335 ) $ — $ ( 95,999 ) $ — $ — $ 3,099,558 2020 NEOs $ 2,068,690 $ 74,000 $ 166,000 $ ( 267,335 ) $ — $ ( 95,999 ) $ — $ — $ 1,797,356 (a) For the PEO, the grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. For the NEOs, the grant date fair value of equity awards represents the average of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. (4) The comparison of total shareholder returns assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 2019, in Village Farms and the Peer Group. (5) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net (loss) income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year. (6) Our Compensation Committee has not used CAP as a basis for making compensation decisions, nor does it use any financial performance measure (other than peer group TSR) for purposes of determining executive compensation. (7) The Company elected to use its CD&A peer group to calculate Peer Group TSR. A different peer group was used in the 2022 calculation than was used in the 2021 and 2020 calculations. The Company believes, given changes in the industry, the economy and the characteristics of the certain companies in the peer group for 2021 and 2020, the 2022 peer group is a better approximation of our Company. | ||
