Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote   Amounts reported represent the amount of “Compensation Actually Paid,” as computed in accordance with SEC rules. Our NEOs did not participate in a pension plan; therefore, we did not report a change in pension value for any of the years reflected in this table, and a deduction from the Summary Compensation Table total related to pension value is not needed. Compensation Actually Paid to Current CEO reflects the following adjustments from Total Compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table:
