Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

The charts below reflect the CAP to our CEO and other NEOs over the five-year period ended December 31, 2024 compared to our TSR, the TSR of our peer group, net income (loss) and adjusted free cash flow, respectively. With respect to CAP increase from 2021 to 2022, in connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy in February 2021 all previously outstanding equity awards were cancelled. The ‘Emergence Grant’ equity awards granted in February 2021 were made using a price per share of $13.46 based on third- party implied market prices immediately prior to emergence, and in consultation with our creditors. The CAP for our CEO and other NEOs was primarily impacted by the Company’s share price appreciation of 180% from emergence through December 31, 2023. The charts below reflect the Company’s strong TSR performance relative to the OSX peer group since listing on the NYSE in June 2021 and strong adjusted free cash flow generation.

In accordance with these rules, these amounts reflect “Total Compensation” as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table for each year, adjusted as shown below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, and the valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. In the 2024 proxy statement, the 2021-2023 Compensation Actually Paid values were presented incorrectly; the values have been restated in this disclosure. In last year’s proxy statement, the Compensation Actually Paid values for 2021-2023 were presented as $38,425,385, $33,943,858 and $34,564,735, respectively.The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs, as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect the total compensation actually realized or received by the NEOs.
