Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block]

Pay Versus Performance

In August 2022, the SEC released the final version of its pay versus performance disclosure rules as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and other official guidance issued thereunder, and which became effective starting with fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The final rules were codified under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K (along with other official guidance issued, “PvP disclosure rules”) and require the Company to provide the following tabular and narrative disclosures.

Pay Versus Performance

The below table sets forth the following information determined pursuant to the PvP disclosure rules for the previous three fiscal years (i) the total and average total compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) for the Chief Executive Officer and the named executive officers as a group (excluding the Chief Executive Officer), respectively, (ii) the total and average total “compensation actually paid” (as determined in accordance with the PvP disclosure rules) for the Chief Executive Officer and the named executive officers as a group (excluding the Chief Executive Officer), respectively, (iii) the Company’s cumulative Total Shareholder Return (“Cumulative TSR”) and the cumulative TSR (“Peer Group Cumulative TSR”) of our Item 402(v) peer group (“PvP Peer Group”) and (iv) Net Income and Revenue After Engagement Marketing.¹

(1)	Mr. Paradise served as Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) for all three years. The following individuals served as the Non-PEO NEOs for the covered years:

a.	For 2022, Messrs. Chafkin, Roswig, Lee and Bhardwaj and Ms. Edelman.

b.	For 2021, Messrs. Bhardwaj, Chafkin, Lee, and Scott Henry, and Mses. Doris Fritz-Bianchi and Miriam Aquirre.

Represents Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) for our PEO and average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs as a group, as computed in accordance with the PvP disclosure rules (determined as set forth below). The dollar amounts do not reflect the amounts of compensation ultimately earned or realized by our NEOs during the covered years.

(3)	Amounts reflected in this column represents the average “Total Compensation” from the SCT and CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs as a group for the covered years.

These columns reflect the Company’s Cumulative TSR and our Peer Group Cumulative TSR for each measurement period from December 17, 2020 (our first trading day) through December 31, 2022. We have assumed that dividends have been reinvested. The resulting amounts assume that $100 was invested on December 17, 2020, in each of our Class A Common Stock and the stocks of our PvP Peer Group.

(5)	Our PvP Peer Group is the Nasdaq Composite Index, which is the same peer group used by us for purposes of Item 201(e)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue After Engagement Marketing is a non-GAAP financial performance metric determined by taking consolidated revenue and adjusting for engagement marketing expenses included in sales and marketing expenses. Accordingly, stockholders should not rely on this metric as an indicator of financial performance.

(i)

The fair value or incremental fair value of all incentive equity awards is determined in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” generally using the same assumptions used in determining the grant date fair value of our equity awards reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to properly value the option awards and market-based awards, we made appropriate adjustments to the grant date assumptions in our Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo valuation models, respectively. For our Black-Scholes model, we adjusted the assumptions to reflect changes in the stock price historical and implied volatility, expected life (including remaining vesting periods, remaining expiration periods and option gain levels), dividend yield and risk-free interest rates as of each measurement date. For our Monte Carlo model, we adjusted the assumptions to reflect changes in the stock price, historical and implied volatility, and risk free interest rates as of the relevant measurement date. The value of outstanding performance-based awards in the covered fiscal year is based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the last day of the fiscal year.
