| Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay Versus Performance The table below sets forth the compensation values reported in the Summary Compensation Table for our principal executive officers (“PEOs”), and, on an average basis, our other non-PEO (“non-PEO NEOs”), Year Summary (1) Summary (1) Compensation (5) Compensation (5) Average Non-PEO (1) Average Non-PEO (5) Value of Initial (2) Net Adjusted (4) TSR Peer (3) 2023 $ 24,222,167 $ 15,527,818 $ 2,226,390, $ 18,708,991 $ 2,983,412 $ 3,222,651 $ 123 $ 188 $ 1,589,666 $ 3,328,085 2022 $ 13,801,052 $ — $ 18,874,937 $ — $ 4,070,992 $ 2,945,488 $ 111 $ 154 $ 2,922,668 $ 4,749,520 2021 $ 11,473,664 $ — $ 13,340,515 $ — $ 3,330,663 $ 4,065,737 $ 69 $ 88 $ 558,324 $ 1,023,192 2020 $ 7,646,095 $ — $ 6,397,644 $ — $ 3,452,842 $ 2,692,446 $ 54 $ 65 $ (601,448 ) $ 495,242 (1) The sole PEO for reporting years 2022, 2021 and 2020 is Michael C. Jennings. The PEOs for 2023 are Michael C. Jennings, who served as our Chief Executive Officer for a portion of 2023 and is referred to as the “First PEO” above, and Timothy Go who was promoted to the position of Chief Executive Officer and President, effective May 9, 2023, and is referred to as the “Second PEO” above. The non-PEO NEOs (a) 2023: Atanas H. Atanasov, Vaishali S. Bhatia, Valerie Pompa and Steven C. Ledbetter. (b) 2022: Atanas H. Atanasov, Timothy Go, Vaishali S. Bhatia, Richard L. Voliva III (former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) and Thomas G. Creery (former President, Renewables). (c) 2021: Richard L. Voliva III, Timothy Go, Thomas G. Creery, and Vaishali S. Bhatia. (d) 2020: Richard L. Voliva III, Timothy Go, Thomas G. Creery, and Bruce A. Lerner. (2) Cumulative TSR is measured as of a base period of December 31, 2019 and determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100. (3) The peer group used for relative TSR is the Incentive Peer Group, which is the same peer group the Company uses for its Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. (4) The Company-selected measure is AICP Adjusted EBITDA, which is a performance measure used in the calculation of our annual cash incentive awards. Calculation of AICP Adjusted EBITDA differs from the calculation of EBITDA as reported in our financial statements. See Appendix A for the specific adjustments and the reconciliation of AICP Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented. The time period for the AICP Adjusted EBITDA disclosed in the table above differs from the actual AICP Adjusted EBITDA used in the calculation of the 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 annual incentive awards because the AICP Adjusted EBITDA disclosed in the table is calculated based on the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 to align with the period of the other compensation and financial measures reported in the table. The AICP Adjusted EBITDA actually used in the calculation of the annual incentive awards our NEOs received is based on the actual annual incentive award performance period, which commences on October 1 of the previous year and runs through September 30 of the current year. Therefore, the AICP Adjusted EBITDA disclosed in the table is not the actual AICP Adjusted EBITDA that was used in the calculation of the annual incentive awards the NEOs received for the periods presented. See “—2023 Executive Compensation Decisions (5) The SEC rules require that certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine CAP, as reported in the Pay versus Performance table above. The following table details the applicable adjustments that were made to determine CAP. We note that while the adjustments shown below for the First PEO with respect to the 2022 year were correct in last year’s proxy statement filing, there was a summation error when transferring that total amount to the main table above, which has now been corrected to accurately reflect the individual adjustments from 2022. We do not sponsor or maintain any defined benefit pension plans and therefore, no deduction was made related to pension value for any year.
