Equity Valuation Assumption Difference, Footnote    

  (a) The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.
  (b) The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:
            Value of  
            Dividends or  
  Year End     Year over   other Earnings

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long- term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enter- prise for our stockholders. For the most recently completed fiscal year, the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, to the Company’s performance are as follows:

  · Relative ROE
     
  · Relative TSR
     
  · Relative Economic Return
       
Total Shareholder Return Amount     $ 73.80 28.78 30.56 76.04 51.25
Peer Group Total Shareholder Return Amount     59.73 62.71 58.46 82.47 74.01
Net Income (Loss)     $ 176,065,000 $ 126,104,000 $ (513,066,000) $ 674,519,000 $ 89,012,000

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

As described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, not all of those Company measures are presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.
