Pay vs Performance Disclosure

Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

The following table provides a comparison between two measures of compensation for our Named Executive Officers and certain me

ures of performance. The two compensation measures are the Named Executive Officers’ “total compensation,” as presented in the Summary Compensation Table, and their “compensation actually paid,” a measure of compensation required by SEC rules. These measures are presented for the relevant years on an individual basis for our Chief Executive Officer, and as an average for the group of our other Named Executive Officers.

While both “total compensation” and “compensation actually paid” measure compensation for the same fiscal year, the two measures are calculated differently. Compensation actually paid is based on total compensation but substitutes different amounts for equity compensation. Compensation actually paid removes from total compensation the grant-date fair value of equity awards granted during the relevant year and replaces it with the net aggregate change in the fair value of equity awards during the relevant year. This net aggregate change in fair value represents the sum of:

●

the

year-end

fair value of new awards granted during the year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year;

●

the change in the fair value (positive or negative) of unvested awards outstanding during the entire year, measured from the beginning of the year to the end of the year;

●

the vesting-date fair value of new awards that are granted and also vest in the year;

●

the change in the fair value (positive or negative) of unvested awards that are held at the beginning of the year and that also vest during the year, measured from the beginning of the year to the vesting date;

●

the loss in fair value of unvested awards outstanding at the beginning of the year that fail to meet applicable vesting conditions

during

the year, measured as the loss of the fair value of those awards at the beginning of the year; and

●

the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on awards during the year prior to any vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in total compensation for the year.

The net change in aggregate fair value must also reflect any increase in the fair value of any equity awards that were repriced or otherwise materially modified during the year. No equity awards were repriced or otherwise materially modified during any of the years presented.
