Pay Versus Performance
The following tables and related disclosures provide information about (i) the “total compensation” of our principal executive officers (the “PEOs”) and our other named executive officers (the “Other NEOs”) as presented in the Summary Compensation Table on page 36 (the “SCT Amounts”), (ii) the “compensation actually paid” to our PEOs and our Other NEOs, as calculated pursuant to the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rules (the “CAP Amounts”), (iii) certain financial performance measures, and (iv) the relationship of the CAP Amounts to those financial performance measures.
This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K (“Item 402(v)”) under the Exchange Act. The CAP Amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our named executive officers during the applicable years but instead are amounts determined in accordance with Item 402(v). CAP Amounts are influenced by numerous factors, including but not limited to, the timing of new grant issuances and outstanding grant vesting; executive departures and new hires; share price volatility; and general stock market trends during the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee does not utilize CAP Amounts as the basis for making compensation decisions. For information on how the Compensation Committee assessed the Company’s performance and established compensation for the NEOs, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this Proxy Statement and in the proxy statements for 2021 and 2022.
During the four-year period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023, we had two PEOs (Matthew Moynahan and Scott Clements) and one interim PEO (Steven Worth, who served as interim CEO from Mr. Clements’ departure on August 2, 2021 until Mr. Moynahan’s hire on November 29, 2021).

| (2) | The following tables describes the adjustments, each of which is prescribed by SEC rule, to calculate the CAP Amounts from the SCT Amounts. Valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those used to calculate fair values at the time of grant as reflected in the SCT Amounts. However, the SCT Amounts and aggregate value for stock awards included in the SCT Amounts (the "Stock Award Values") for Mr. Clements in 2021 and 2020 and for Mr. Worth in 2021 reflect revisions to correct the SCT Amounts and Stock Award Values that were originally published in the Summary Compensation Tables included in the Proxy Statements for the 2022 and 2021 Annual Meetings of Stockholders. All of these revisions resulted in a reduction from the originally published figures. |

| (4) | Subscription and Term License Revenue was determined to be the most important financial performance measure linking “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s performance for 2023 and therefore was selected as the 2023 “company selected measure” as defined in Item 402(v). Subscription and Term License Revenue and how it is used in our incentive programs is discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 27. |
Financial Performance Measures
The following table lists the three financial performance measures that, in our assessment, represent the most important performance measures we use to link the CAP Amounts for our named executive officers for 2023 (our most recently completed fiscal year) to company performance. There are three measures for both the PEO and the other NEOs. Of these measures, we have identified Subscription and Term License Revenue as the most important of our financial performance measures to link CAP Amounts for our executives for 2023 to company performance.

- Not meaningful.
** Reflects a revision from the figure published in the 2022 proxy statement, which was incorrectly shown as 39% due to a calculation error.
The CAP Amount paid to Mr. Clements declined by 139% from 2020 to 2021, and the average CAP Amount paid to the Other NEOs declined by 103% from 2020 to 2021. During that period, Company TSR decreased by 18% (versus a peer group TSR increase of 38%); net loss widened by 461%; and Subscription and Term License Revenue grew by 31%.
The primary factor causing the decline in Mr. Clements’ CAP Amount from 2020 to 2021 was his termination during 2021, which resulted in negative compensation for Mr. Clements for 2021 due to the value of the unvested equity awards he forfeited at his departure. Likewise, the primary factor causing the decline in Other NEOs CAP Amount during the same period was the departure of Mr. Hoyt, who also had negative compensation for 2021 due to the value of the equity awards he forfeited upon departure.
Mr. Moynahan’s CAP Amount declined by 101% from $7.2 million in 2021 to negative $83,597 in 2022. The average CAP Amount paid to the Other NEOs increased from negative $56,409 to $817,073 from 2021 to 2022. During that period, Company TSR decreased by 34%, a slightly smaller decrease than for peer group TSR, which decreased by 36%. Net loss narrowed by 53% from 2021 to 2022, and Subscription and Term License Revenue grew by 39%.
The primary factor causing the decline in Mr. Moynahan’s CAP Amount for 2022 was general negative stock market trends during 2022, rather than factors specific to the Company’s performance. The Company’s lower stock price at the end of 2021 relative to the end of 2022 significantly influenced the calculation of Mr. Moynahan’s CAP Amount under Item 402(v), even though the Company’s TSR decline during 2022 was slightly smaller than the peer group TSR decline.
The significant increase in the Other NEOs CAP Amount from 2021 to 2022 was driven primarily by the Other NEOs CAP Amount in 2021, which was negative due to the impact of Mr. Hoyt’s negative 2021 CAP Amount.
Mr. Moynahan's CAP Amount increased from negative $83,597 for 2022 to approximately $2.0 million for 2023. The average CAP Amount paid to the Other NEOs decreased from $0.8 million to $0.7 million, a decrease of 14%. During that period, Company TSR decreased by 4% (versus a peer group TSR increase of 66%); net loss widened by 108%; and Subscription and Term License Revenue grew by 20%.
The primary factors causing the increase in Mr. Moynahan's CAP Amount for 2023 were the time-based RSUs granted to him in February 2023 (all of which were forfeited upon his last day of employment on January 4, 2024) and the impact of his negative CAP amount in 2022, which was driven largely by general 2022 stock market trends, as noted above. The decline in the other NEO CAP Amount was due mostly to the fact that 75% of the Other NEO equity awards granted in February 2023 were in the form of PSUs, and the expected attainment for such PSUs at the end of 2023 was only 31.25%. The low payout amounts for the 2023 MIP were also a factor in the decline.
Due to the significant executive turnover from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023 and to the impact of general stock market trends during 2022 that were largely unrelated to the Company’s performance, we do not believe there is a meaningful correlation between CAP Amounts as determined under Item 402(v) and the Company’s performance for the periods discussed above, with the exception of Other NEO CAP Amounts for 2022 and 2023. The year over year decline in Other NEO CAP Amounts from 2022 to 2023 was directionally consistent with the Company's poor TSR performance relative to its peer group due to the high proportion of PSU awards granted to the Other NEOs during 2023 and the low payouts to Other NEOs under the 2023 MIP. The low expected attainment of the 2023 PSUs at year end and the small 2023 MIP payouts reflected the Company's 2023 performance, as further in discussed in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis", and this performance was in turn reflected in the Other NEO CAP Amounts for 2023.
