Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the year indicated for Dr. Gros and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the year indicated for the Company's named executive officers other than Dr. Gros. The Company’s other named executive officers were Dr. Perrin and Mr. Little for 2023 and 2022 and Mr. Little and Mr. Smith for 2021.
(2)
The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the Company’s named executive officers. Compensation Actually Paid reflects the Summary Compensation Table Total with certain adjustments as set forth in the table following this footnote.
(3)
Total Shareholder Return (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.

Pursuant to rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2020.

Relationship Between Pay and Performance
As noted above, as is the case with many companies in the biotechnology industry, the Company’s incentive objectives are generally tied to our strategic and operational goals rather than financial goals. Accordingly, our compensation program is not influenced by financial metrics, such as net income.
For 2021, our net loss was $34,506,000 as compared to the “compensation actually paid” of ($4,786,792) for Dr. Gros and $797,373 for the average of our other named executive officers. In 2022, our net loss was $87,966,000, while the “compensation actually paid” was ($1,975,346) for Dr. Gros and $151,145 for our other named executive officers. With respect to 2023, our net loss was $40,326,000, while the “compensation actually paid” was $404,580 for Dr. Gros and $710,034 for our other named executive officers.
The fluctuations in our CAP were driven by the fluctuations in our stock price over the three-year period, particularly in light of the leverage of our executive compensation program towards equity awards. The following graphic illustrates the relationship between the CAP to the PEO and average NEO and the Company’s TSR.
We are a clinical stage biotechnology company with no products approved for commercial sale and have not generated any revenue since our inception. Consequently, we did not use net income (loss) as a performance measure in our executive compensation program and we do not believe there is any meaningful relationship between our net loss and compensation actually paid to our NEOs during the periods presented.
Performance Measures Used to Link Company Performance and Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs
As described in Executive Compensation on page 18, the principal incentive elements in our executive compensation program were delivered in the form of annual incentives and equity awards. As is the case with many companies in the biotechnology industry, our annual incentive objectives are generally tied to the Company’s strategic and operational goals rather than financial goals. The following is a list of performance measures, which in our assessment represent the most important performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the named executive officers for 2023:
Initiated and enrolled first participant in the Phase 2 BESTOW trial to evaluate tegoprubart for the prevention of rejection in kidney transplant recipients;
Enrolled participants in the Phase 1b trial to evaluate tegoprubart for the prevention of rejection in kidney transplant recipients;
Initiated and enrolled first participant in the Phase 2 open-label extension study;
Reported updated safety and efficacy data from the ongoing Phase 1b open-label trial evaluating tegoprubart for the prevention of rejection in patients undergoing kidney transplant;
Announced the use of tegoprubart as a component of the immunosuppressive treatment regimen to prevent rejection in both kidney and heart pig-to-human xenotransplantations;
Completed financing of up to $185 million, with $35 million in upfront funding and additional aggregate financing of up to $105 million, subject to achieving clinical development milestones, volume weighted share price levels, and trading volume conditions, as well as up to an additional $45 million upon exercise of warrants; and
Completed subcutaneous route of administration study on non-human primates.
