| Lucy Clark Dougherty | Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Amounts shown in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of PRSUs granted to each of our NEOs, and the grant date fair value of RSU awards granted to each of our NEOs, in the fiscal years indicated. The calculation of the grant date fair value amounts for PRSU awards granted in 2021 assumes target-level performance against the specified PRSU financial goals. Assuming maximum performance with respect to the applicable performance goals, the amounts reported with respect to PRSU awards for 2021 would be 2,166,435 for Mr. Speetzen, 704,867 for Mr. Mack, 1,307,636 for Mr. Pucel, 762,879 for Mr. Menneto, and 762,879 for Ms. Clark Dougherty. The actual value ultimately realized by our NEOs with respect to these PRSU awards will depend on our actual performance against the specified financial goals and the market value of our common stock on the vesting date, and may differ substantially from the grant date fair values shown. The grant date fair value of the time-based RSU awards was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date.

These perquisites are described in further detail under the caption “Perquisites” on page 45.
