Pay versus Performance

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last two completed fiscal years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our named executive officers in the table below, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for this year and in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. The “compensation actually paid” data reflected in the table below may not reflect amounts actually realized by our named executive officers. For information concerning the decisions made by our Compensation Committee with respect to compensation for the named executive officers for each fiscal year, please see the disclosure under “Determination of Compensation” above and the other narrative disclosure under the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement.

The following table summarizes compensation paid to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) as set forth in our Summary Compensation Table, the adjusted values of compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to our PEO, average compensation paid to our named executive officers other than our PEO as set forth in our Summary Compensation Table, and the adjusted values of average CAP to our named executive officers other than our PEO, each as calculated in accordance with SEC rules, as well as certain Company performance measures, in each case for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2023:

Year (1)	Summary Compensation Table Total for PEO ($)(2)		Compensation Actualy Paid to PEO ($)(3)		Average Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO Named Executive Officers ($)(2)		Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO Named Executive Officers ($)(3)		Value of Initial Fixed $100 investment Based on Total Shareholder Return ($)(4)		Net Loss ($)(5)
