| Additional 402(v) Disclosure | Amounts reported in these columns represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the indicated fiscal year in the case of our PEO and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the Non-PEO NEOs in the indicated year for such years. Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the comparison assumes $100 was invested in our common stock on July 22, 2021 using the closing stock price on that date. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. The Company’s revenue is a key driver of the Company’s performance and stockholder value creation and had a 50% weighting in the 2023 CCIP. “Compensation actually paid,” as calculated per SEC Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, reflects cash compensation actually paid as well as changes to the fair values of equity awards during the years shown in the table based on year-end or vesting date stock prices, and various accounting valuation assumptions. Due to how CAP is calculated, the CAP as reported for each year does not reflect the actual amounts earned by our NEOs from their equity awards. CAP generally fluctuates annually due to the change in our stock price from year to year as well as varying levels of actual achievement of performance goals. Because CAP does not reflect the actual amount earned by our NEOs on their equity compensation, we do not use this measure for understanding how NEO pay aligns with our company performance. For a discussion of how our compensation committee assessed “pay-for-performance” and how our executive compensation program is designed to link executive compensation with the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives as well as stockholder value creation each year, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement and our proxy statements filed in 2022 and 2023. Below are graphs showing the relationship of “Compensation Actually Paid” to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs for our fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023 to (1) TSR of both our common stock and the S&P 600, (2) our net income (loss), and (3) our revenue. | | |
