The calculation of compensation actually paid for purposes of this table includes point-in-time fair values of stock awards and these values will fluctuate based on our stock price, various accounting valuation assumptions and projected performance related to our performance awards. See the Summary Compensation Table for certain other compensation of our PEOs and our non-PEO NEOs for each applicable fiscal year and the Options Exercised and Stock Vested table for the value realized by each of them upon the vesting of stock awards during 2022. Table of Contents Compensation actually paid to our Named Executive Officers represents the “Total” compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year, as adjusted as follows: 2020 2021 2022 Adjustments PEO Average PEO Average PEO PEO Average Deduction for Amounts Reported under the — $ ( 278,750 ) $ ( 8,731,750 ) $ ( 4,832,125 ) $ ( 6,498,060 ) $ ( 6,499,995 ) $ ( 3,899,993 ) Increase based on ASC 718 Fair Value of — — $ 4,577,888 $ 2,574,260 $ 1,092,121 $ 657,265 $ 1,771,678 Increase based on ASC 718 Fair Value of — — — — — — — Increase/deduction for Awards Granted — — — — $ ( 1,449,301 ) $ ( 2,380,699 ) $ ( 1,078,051 ) Increase/deduction for Awards Granted — — — — $ ( 15,344 ) $ ( 100,311 ) $ ( 8,469 ) Deduction of ASC 718 Fair Value of Awards — — — — — — — Increase based on Dividends or Other — — — — — — — Increase based on Incremental Fair Value of — — — — — — — TOTAL ADJUSTMENTS — $ ( 278,750 ) $ ( 4,153,862 ) $ ( 2,257,865 ) $ ( 6,870,584 ) $ ( 8,323,740 ) $ ( 3,214,835 ) Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the “Compensation Actually Paid” columns was determined by reference to (i) for RSU awards, the closing price per share on the applicable year‑end date(s) or, in the case of vesting dates, the closing price per share on the applicable vesting date(s); (ii) for PSU awards, the same valuation methodology as RSU awards above except that the year‑end values are multiplied by the probability of achievement of the applicable performance objective as of the applicable date; and (iii) for stock options, a Black Scholes value as of the applicable year‑end or vesting date(s), determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair value but using the closing stock price on the applicable revaluation date as the current market price and with an expected life set equal to the remaining life of the award in the case of underwater stock options and, in the case of in the money options, an expected life equal to the original ratio of expected life relative to the ten year contractual life multiplied times the remaining life as of the applicable revaluation date, and in all cases based on volatility and risk free rates determined as of the revaluation date based on the expected life period and based on an expected dividend rate of 0%. For additional information on the assumptions used to calculate the valuation of the awards, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 222 and prior fiscal years. (4) For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”) on our Class A common stock and the cumulative TSR (the “Peer Group TSR”) of the S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector Index (the “Peer Group”) through December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. The table assumes $100 was invested at the market close on October 29, 2020, which was the first day our Class A common stock began trading. Data for the Peer Group TSR assumes reinvestment of dividends. (5) The Company selected Adjusted EBITDA as the company-selected measure for the pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents the most important financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the PEO(s) and the remaining Named Executive Officers. See Annex B in this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. | ||||
