PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and the financial performance of our Company. The following table sets forth the compensation for our CEO (referred to as “PEO”) and the average compensation for our other NEOs. For further information concerning our compensation philosophy and how we align executive compensation
with
our performance, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Reflects the total compensation of our current CEO, Michael Egeck, who is our PEO, and Steven Ortega, who served as PEO until Mr. Egeck’s appointment in 2021 and is therefore included in this table as an additional PEO in accordance with SEC rules. Amounts shown are as calculated in the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) for each of the years shown.
(2)
Amounts shown for compensation actually paid (“CAP”) are computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K
under the Exchange Act and do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs during the applicable year. These amounts reflect total compensation as reported in the SCT with certain adjustments as required by item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K
as described in footnote (3) below. The
Non-PEO
NEOs for each applicable year are as follows: (i) for fiscal year 2023, Mssrs. Bowman, Weddell, Gazaway and LaBode and Ms. Baker, (ii) for fiscal year 2022, Messrs. Weddell, Gazaway and LaBode and Ms. Baker, and (iii) for fiscal year 2021, Mr. Weddell and Ms. Baker.
(3)
CAP reflects the exclusions and inclusions of equity awards for the PEO and the other NEOs as set forth below and calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The valuation methodologies and assumptions used to calculate CAP are based on the grant date fair value
of
these awards as disclosed in the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements filed with the SEC on Form
10-K
for the years reflected in the tables below:

(a)
As shown in these tables, the CAP totals represent the SCT totals for the applicable year, but adjusted as required by SEC rules to include
the
fair value of current and prior year equity awards that are outstanding, vested or forfeited during the applicable year, instead of the grant date value of awards granted during the applicable year.
 
(4)
TSR shown in this table utilizes the S&P
Small-Cap
600 Index (“Index”) which we use in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation
S-K
included in the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements filed with the SEC on Form
10-K
for the years reflected in the table above. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period from October 29, 2020, our first trading day subsequent to our initial public offering, through the last day of the applicable fiscal year in each of the Company’s Common Stock and the Index. All dollar values assume reinvestment of the
pre-tax
value of dividends paid by companies included in the Index. The historical stock price performance of our Common Stock shown is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
(5)
Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
we determined Adjusted EBITDA to be the most important financial performance measure used to link company performance to CAP to our PEO and other NEOs in 2023. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2022 and 2021 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important such measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA is defined on page 16 and is a
non-GAAP
financial measure.

Reflects the total compensation of our current CEO, Michael Egeck, who is our PEO, and Steven Ortega, who served as PEO until Mr. Egeck’s appointment in 2021 and is therefore included in this table as an additional PEO in accordance with SEC rules.
