(1) In 2022, each of Mr. Rowe and Mr. Ianchulev served as our PEO for part of the year. Mr. Rowe served as our only PEO in 2023. The Non-PEO NEOs for whom the average compensation is presented in this table for 2024 are Mr. Gandolfo, Mr. Kern and Mr. Jones; for 2023 are Mr. Gandolfo and Mr. Kern; and for 2022 is Mr. Gandolfo. Mr. Gandolfo retired in November 2024. Mr. Kern ended his employment with the Company in July 2025. Mr. Jones served as our Chief Financial Officer from August 2024 to November 2024.

 

(2) The amounts shown as Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually realized or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect total compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table for each year, adjusted as described in footnote 3 below. 

 

(3) Compensation Actually Paid reflects the exclusions and inclusions for the PEOs and the Non-PEO NEOs set forth below. Amounts excluded, which are set forth in the table below, represent the Stock Awards and Option Awards reported in the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns of the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable year. Amounts added back to determine Compensation Actually Paid are made up of the following components, which are set forth in the table below, as applicable: (i) the fair value as of the end of the fiscal year of outstanding and unvested equity awards granted in that year; (ii) the change in fair value during the year of equity awards granted in prior years that remained outstanding and unvested at the end of the year; (iii) the fair value as of the vesting date of equity awards that were granted and vested in that year; and (iv) the change in fair value during the year through the vesting date of equity awards granted in prior years that vested during that year. The fair value at the end of the prior year of awards granted in any prior year that failed to meet applicable vesting conditions during the covered year have been subtracted. Equity values are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718.

(4) Reflects the cumulative shareholder return over the relevant fiscal year, computed in accordance with SEC rules. The value in this column is the value at the end of each applicable year assuming a $100 investment was made in the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2021. The closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2021 was $320.00; the closing price of our common stock on December 30, 2022 was $130.40; the closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2023 was $166.40; and the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2024 was $11.68 (all prices adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split).

 

In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following table details the adjustments to the Summary Compensation Table to determine “compensation actually paid” for the PEOs and NEOs.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

Comparison of “Compensation Actually Paid” to our Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)

 

Our TSR was $40.75, $52.00 and $3.65 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Dr. Ianchulev’s “compensation actually paid” was $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and Mr. Rowe’s “compensation actually paid” was $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The average “compensation actually paid” to our Other NEOs was $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.3 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Our TSR increased in 2023 but decreased in 2024; “compensation actually paid” to our PEOs decreased in 2023 and 2024; and average “compensation actually paid” to our Other NEOs increased in 2023 and decreased in 2024.

     
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income

Comparison of “Compensation Actually Paid” to Net Income (Loss)

 

Our net loss was approximately $28.0 million in 2022, $27.2 million in 2023 and $49.8 million in 2024. Dr. Ianchulev’s “compensation actually paid” was $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and Mr. Rowe’s “compensation actually paid” was $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The average “compensation actually paid” to our Other NEOs was $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Our net loss decreased in 2023 and increased in 2024; “compensation actually paid” to our PEOs decreased in 2023 and 2024; and average “compensation actually paid” to our Other NEOs increased in 2023 and decreased in 2024.

 

We do not utilize TSR or net income (loss) as performance measures in our executive compensation program; however, we do utilize other performance measures to align executive compensation with the Company’s performance.
