PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

As discussed in our Compensation Disclosure and Analysis, our executive compensation program is designed to reflect a strong focus on pay-for-performance to align our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing information about the relationship between executive “compensation actually paid” (CAP) computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and certain financial performance metrics of the Company.

 

The Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure below in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown.

 

Tabular List of Performance Measures

 

While we utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with our performance, not all of these measures are presented in the Pay Versus Performance table shown below.

 

We consider achievements related to the following metrics to be the most important links between performance and the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the most recently completed fiscal year:

  Revenue
   
  Adjusted EBITDA
   
  Subscription-Based Annual Recurring Revenue
   
  Gross Margin
   
  Stock Price
