Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote 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 earned, 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 the table below. The unvested equity fair values were calculated on each of the required measurement dates using valuation assumptions based on criteria that did not materially differ from those used for grant date fair value calculations and in accordance with the methodology used for financial reporting purposes. For unvested awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the fair values were based on the probable outcome of such performance-based vesting conditions as of the last day of the fiscal year. Deductions from, and additions to, total compensation in the Summary Compensation Table by year to calculate Compensation Actually Paid consist of:
