The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 Chemicals Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in each of the Company and in the S&P 500 Chemicals Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. 5. We determined Adjusted EBITDA to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2022. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2021 and 2020 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA is defined for purposes of the annual incentive plan as set forth above in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section. | ||||
