Tabular List [Table Text Block]

TABULAR LIST OF MOST IMPORTANT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

 

The following is a list of performance measures, which in our assessment represent the most important performance measures used by the Company to link NEO compensation to Company performance. Each performance metric below is used for purposes of determining payouts under either our Management Plan or vesting of our PSUs. Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for a further description of these performance metrics (including, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, how it is calculated) and how they are used in our executive compensation program. As noted above, we do not in practice use any performance measures to link “compensation actually paid” (as calculated herein) to Company performance. However, we are providing this list in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K to provide information on performance measures used by the Compensation Committee to determine NEO compensation, as more fully described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
