Pay versus Performance
Provided below is the Company’s “pay versus performance” (“PVP”) disclosure as required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.
This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) and does not necessarily reflect the value actually realized by the NEOs or how our Compensation Committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of Company or individual performance. In particular, our Compensation Committee has not used “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) as disclosed in the “Pay Versus Performance Table” below as a basis for making compensation decisions, nor does it use GAAP Net Loss, or any other performance measure for purposes of determining incentive compensation.
Pay Versus Performance Table
Our CEO is the principal executive officer (“PEO”). The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our PEO and other NEOs for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 and our financial performance for each such fiscal year, in accordance with Item 402(v).

(1)Michael A. DeGiglio served as the principal executive officer of the Company during 2021, 2022 and 2023.
(2)The dollar amounts reported as total compensation for the Company’s PEO and the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) as a group (excluding the PEO) for each corresponding year are the amounts reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table” of this Proxy Statement. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding the PEO) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2023, Stephen C. Ruffini and Ann Gillin Lefever and Mandesh Dosanjh (ii) for 2022, Stephen C. Ruffini, Mandesh Dosanjh, Eric Janke and Bret Wiley; and (iii) for 2021, Stephen C.

(3)The dollar amounts reported as “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s PEO and the average amount reported as “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO), are 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 such PEO or the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO) during the applicable year. The valuation methodologies and assumptions used when calculating the equity values included in the compensation actually paid are not materially different than those used when calculating the amounts included in the Summary Compensation Table. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to the PEO’s total compensation and the average total compensation of the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid:
| Year | PEO or NEOs | Reported Summary Compensation Table Total | Minus Reported Value of Equity Awards (a) | Plus Fair Value at Fiscal Year-end of Outstanding and Unvested Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in the Fiscal Year | Plus Change in Fair Value of Outstanding and Unvested Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in Prior Fiscal Years | Plus Fair Value at Vesting of Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in Fiscal Year that Vested During Fiscal Year | Plus Change in Fair Value as of Vesting Date of Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in Prior Fiscal Years for Which Applicable Vesting Conditions Were Satisfied During Fiscal Year | Minus Fair Value as of Prior Fiscal Year-End of Option Awards and Stock Awards Granted in Prior Fiscal Years that Failed to Meet Applicable Vesting Conditions During Fiscal Year | Plus Value of Dividends or Earnings Paid on Equity Awards in the Fiscal Year that are not Otherwise Reflected in the Value of Total Compensation | Equals Compensation Actually Paid |
