(1) Amounts included in this column for 2023 represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSU awards and PRSU awards for 2023 calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, or Topic 718, using the assumptions discussed in Note 12 to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024. The grant date fair value of each RSU award is measured based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The PRSU awards, in order to vest, require achievement of certain performance-based vesting conditions, including revenue and clinical trial enrollment goals, during a three-year performance period. The grant date fair value of these PRSU awards was determined in accordance with Topic 718 based upon the probable outcome of the performance-based vesting conditions underlying such awards. Assuming the highest level of performance is achieved, the aggregate grant date fair value of such PRSU awards would be $1,211,210, $400,171, $503,360, $346,060 and $346,060, for Messrs. Greenman, Green, Jayaraman and Benjamin and Ms. Jensen, respectively. These amounts do not reflect whether the NEO has actually realized or will realize a financial benefit from the awards upon the vesting of the granted stock awards, or the sale of the shares underlying such stock awards.
