The unvested equity values in the above table are computed in accordance with the methodology used for financial reporting purposes. The fair value of time-based restricted stock units and PRSU—Revenue Hurdle awards used to calculate CAP was based on Conduent’s closing stock price on each valuation date and, for PRSU—Revenue Hurdle awards, assumes estimated performance results as of the end of each reporting year. The fair value of PRSU—Share Hurdle awards used to calculate CAP was based on Conduent’s fair value per share on each valuation date and assumes estimated performance results as of the end of each reporting year.
Columns for dividends and pensions are excluded from the above, as they are not provided by Conduent.

Adjustment to Non-PEO NEO Compensation Footnote Average CAP to our other NEOs is computed in accordance with SEC rules.

In accordance with SEC rules, a reconciliation from SCT total compensation to CAP for the average of the other NEOs is set forth following the footnotes to this table.        
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
Relationship between Company TSR and Peer Group TSR and CAP and Company TSR
The graph below illustrates the relationship between our TSR and the current Peer Group TSR, as well as the relationship between CAP and our TSR for our PEO and other NEOs.
        
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
Relationship between CAP and GAAP Net Income
GAAP Net Income (loss) is not a main factor in determining the CAP for our PEO and average other NEOs, as GAAP Net Income is not a metric used in our annual or long-term incentive plans, and thus there is not a strong relationship between CAP and Net Income. 		       
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure
Relationship between Revenue (our Company-Selected Measure) and CAP
The graph below reflects the relationship between our PEO and Average Other NEO CAP versus revenue for each fiscal year.
