| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return | Cumulative Total Shareholder Return (TSR). The Company’s cumulative TSR over the four- year period presented in the table was (48)%. The cumulative TSR of the peer group presented for this purpose was 96% over the four years presented in the table. Over the four-year period presented in the table, the aggregate compensation actually paid to our PEOs changed from $26,701 to $389,834. Mr. Massey’s compensation actually paid in 2020 was attributable to the change in fair value of stock compensation granted prior to 2020. Mr. Ducommun’s compensation in 2023 was primarily attributable to payments under the ISIP. Mr. Massey received nominal compensation in 2023. Refer to discussion under “Our Compensation Programs are Driven by our Business Objectives” and “The Investment Success Incentive Program” for further information on the ISIP. The average compensation actually paid to our NEOs as a group (excluding our PEO) decreased by 62%, directionally consistent with the Company’s cumulative TSR, over the four-year period. | |||||
| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income | Net Income (Loss). While the Company does not use net income (loss) as a performance measure in its overall executive compensation program, the change in the amount of compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer and in the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding our PEO) is generally aligned with the change in the Company’s net income (loss) over the four years presented in the table. As seen in the Pay Versus Performance Table, decreases in compensation actually paid to our non-PEO NEOs as a group over the four-year period generally aligned with similar decreases in net income (loss). | |||||
