Additional 402(v) Disclosure
We are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“CAP”) and certain financial performance of the Company as required by SEC rules. Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for discussion of our compensation philosophy and how the Compensation Committee structures our compensation program to motivate and reward the achievement of performance-based financial and other goals that align with our operational and strategic objectives. The SEC-defined CAP data set forth in the table below does not reflect amounts actually realized by our NEOs, and the Compensation Committee has not used or considered CAP previously in establishing the NEO compensation program. A significant portion of the CAP amounts shown relate to changes in values of unvested awards over the course of the reporting year. The fair value as of December 31, 2023 for the equity awards adjustment shown below was calculated using the Hull-White model as this model considers the future movement in the price of Ordinary Shares and option holders’ behavior with respect to option exercises. The Hull-White model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the sub-optimal exercise factor, drift rate, the blended volatility based on the Company’s short trading history of its Ordinary Shares and on the trading history of the common stock of a set of comparable publicly listed companies, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. These unvested awards remain subject to significant risk from forfeiture conditions and possible future declines in value based on changes in the price of our Ordinary Shares. The ultimate values actually realized by our NEOs from unvested equity awards, if any, will not be determined until the awards fully vest.
The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of CAP to Mr. Goldberg, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Goldberg during the applicable year. The adjustments below were made to Mr. Goldberg’s total compensation for each year to determine the CAP for such year in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. No amounts were reported in the “Change in Pension and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for any applicable year, so no defined benefit and actuarial pension plan adjustments were made for any applicable year.The dollar amounts reported represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Goldberg or Mr. Khouri, as applicable) in the “Total” column of the SCT in each applicable year. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Khouri) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2023, Kyle Sable, Charles Kropp, Jeffery Emery, Shannon Horn, and Noriko Yokozuka; (ii) for 2022, Charles Kropp, Barry Lederman, Noriko Yokozuka, Shannon Horn, and Ernest Kremling; and (iii) for 2021, Barry Lederman, Noriko Yokozuka, Shannon Horn, and Ernest Kremling.The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of CAP for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Goldberg or Mr. Khouri, as applicable) as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect an average of the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Goldberg or Mr. Khouri, as applicable) during the applicable year. The adjustments below were made to the average total compensation for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Goldberg or Mr. Khouri, as applicable) for each year to determine the CAP for such year in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. No amounts were reported in the “Change in Pension and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for any applicable year, so no defined benefit and actuarial pension plan adjustments were made for any applicable year.TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.
We have presented Adjusted EBITDA as the Company-selected measure in the table above in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. While the Company uses financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure used by the Company to link CAP for the Company’s NEOs to Company performance for the most recently completed year that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the pay versus performance table above.
As described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” a significant portion of the NEO pay is performance-based and at-risk, consistent with the compensation philosophy established by the Compensation Committee. Our NEO compensation program rewards the achievement of specific short-term (annual) and long-term financial and other goals, which are aligned with our operational and strategic goals. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link CAP for the Company’s NEOs to the Company’s performance for the most recently completed year is Adjusted EBITDA.
The Company is providing the following graphs regarding the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table, including CAP, as required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The Compensation Committee utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, and only some of those Company measures are presented in the pay versus performance table above and the graphs below. The Compensation Committee has not used or considered CAP previously as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K to set target compensation amounts or align our NEO compensation to Company performance. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for a discussion of how the Compensation designs our compensation program and sets target compensation amounts.
