(4) | The assumptions used to value equity for the purposes of compensation actually paid were developed consistently with those used to value equity awards at the grant date under ASC 718. For each respective measurement date, RSUs were valued at the then-current stock price. PSUs were valued at the then-current stock price multiplied by the applicable performance factor actually earned for PSUs outstanding in fiscal year 2025. |
(5) | Peer Group TSR reflects the Company’s peer group (NASDAQ Computer Index) used for purposes of Item 201(e)(ii) of Regulation S-K in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Each year reflects what the cumulative value of $100 would be as of the end of the applicable fiscal year, including the reinvestment of dividends, if such amount were first invested on December 31, 2020. |
(6) | We chose annual recurring revenues as our company selected measure because it is the key variable component of our executive compensation program. Annual recurring revenues is a key performance indicator defined as the annualized value of active term-based subscription license contracts, maintenance contracts and SaaS contracts in effect at the end of that period. Subscription license contracts, maintenance contracts and SaaS contracts are annualized by dividing the total contract value by the number of days in the term and multiplying the result by 365. The annualized value of contracts is a legal and contractual determination made by assessing the contractual terms with our customers. The annualized value of maintenance contracts is not determined by reference to historical revenues, deferred revenues or any other GAAP financial measure over any period. Annual recurring revenues is not a forecast of future revenues and can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. |

Financial Performance Measures
As described in detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program consists of several compensation elements reflecting the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, including equity compensation which is directly tied to the returns experienced by our shareholders.
The most important financial performance measures used to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers with the Company’s performance for 2025 are as follows:
• | Annual Recurring Revenues |
• | Trailing-Twelve-Month Margin |
• | Net New SaaS ARR |
• | Free Cash Flow |
