This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed by Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") to amend the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 25, 2022 (the “Original Report”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to include the information required to be disclosed by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Report in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement if the definitive proxy statement is filed no later than 120 days after the Company’s fiscal year-end. The Company is filing this Amendment solely to provide the information required by Part III of Form 10-K because the Company’s definitive proxy statement containing this information will not be filed until a later date.
This Amendment amends and restates in their entirety the cover page and Items 10 through 14 of Part III of the Original Filing. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Company has also included as exhibits currently dated certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As such, this Amendment also amends and restates Item (a)(3) of the Exhibit Index of the Original Filing. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Item 307 or Item 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications required by Section 302 have been omitted, and the certifications required by Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been omitted.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) is or has been an executive officer of the Company. None of the Company’s executive officers served as a director or a member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity, an executive officer of which served as a director of the Company or member of the Compensation Committee during 2021.
Compensation of Directors
The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation program for the Company’s non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee utilizes a combination of cash and equity as a way to attract and retain qualified directors. The 2021 non-employee director compensation program did not change as compared to the 2020 non-employee director compensation program.
Cash Compensation
For 2021, the annual retainer paid to the Company’s non-employee directors was $60,000, payable in equal quarterly installments. Non-employee directors also received a retainer of $2,000 for attendance at Board meetings in excess of ten per year, and $1,500 for attendance at each committee meeting. The Chairman of the Board may waive the additional $2,000 fee for the entire Board, and may waive the $1,500 fee for any applicable committee meeting for the attendees thereof. The Chairman of each committee may also waive the $1,500 fee for any committee meeting he chairs. Each non-employee director of the Company is also reimbursed for expenses incurred when attending Board and committee meetings and other Board-related activities.
The Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual retainer in the amount of $100,000, payable in equal quarterly installments. Each Chairman of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”) receives an additional annual retainer of $25,000, $25,000, and $15,000, respectively, for his service as Chairman of the respective committees, payable in equal quarterly installments. Each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee also receives an additional annual retainer of $2,500 per committee served. All of the foregoing payments are pro-rated for the dates of applicable service.
Prior to the beginning of each calendar year, non-employee directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their quarterly cash retainer payment in the form of deferred stock units (“DSUs”). DSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock at the time the director’s Board service ends. The number of DSUs granted is determined by dividing the portion of the cash compensation with respect to which the election is made by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the cash compensation is due to be paid. DSUs issued in lieu of cash compensation are fully-vested.
Equity Compensation
Under the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company’s non-employee directors are eligible to receive equity awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) at the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. For 2021, the value of each annual equity award was $200,000, delivered in the form of RSUs, which fully vest on the first anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, upon a change of control of the Company. If a non-employee director retires from the Board prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, a pro-rata portion of the RSUs will vest based on the time elapsed from the grant date to the date of retirement. Annual director equity awards are granted after the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to coincide with the commencement of director terms.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and program, the decisions the Compensation Committee made with respect to the Company’s executive compensation program for 2021, and the factors that the Compensation Committee considered in making those decisions. The Compensation Committee has the principal responsibility for establishing, implementing and monitoring the Company’s executive compensation program in accordance with the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and what the Compensation Committee believes to be best practices with respect to executive compensation. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis focuses on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (our “NEOs”) for 2021, who were:

Executive Summary
In 2021 the Company continued to make progress on its key strategic and operational imperatives which are intended to deliver sustained improvements in the Company’s products and financials, and in turn to position the Company for sustainable long-term growth both domestically and globally. The Company also continued to execute on the plan began in 2020 to reset and effectively manage the Company’s cost base, portfolio, balance sheet and capital structure. We believe that these efforts built on the positive momentum developed during 2020 to further improve the Company’s stock price and market capitalization during 2021. The Company’s closing stock price per share on December 31, 2020 was $14.44, and the Company’s closing stock price per share on December 31, 2021 was $18.45, a 27.77% increase over that period.
Operationally, in 2021 the Company continued to leverage our longstanding strategic partnership with Microsoft to enable the development and delivery of cloud-based health information technology solutions. This partnership allows the Company to enhance our client’s high availability, cybersecurity, disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities, each of which have become more important during 2021. In addition, Mercy Iowa City selected the Allscripts Sunrise Platform of Health as the core EHR for its community hospital. Mercy Iowa City is an acute care hospital and regional referral center that draws patients from throughout Eastern Iowa. The Company also substantially expanded our partnership with another client, Blessing Health System, to three facilities—Blessing Health Keokuk, Hannibal Clinic, and partner provider Scotland County Hospital. Blessing Health System has also implemented Allscripts® Managed Services and has extended its agreement through 2028. Further, long-term client BronxCare Health System signed an extension with Allscripts into 2031.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s Veradigm business unit has assisted our clients by providing them with the value needed to manage all aspects of the pandemic. One example of that value is the Veradigm StudySource platform which modernizes clinical research and extends the Company’s EHR systems to include research workflows. During 2021 Veradigm signed a partnership agreement with PRA Health Sciences, Inc. (which has since been acquired by ICON) to create an industry leading EHR-based clinical research network, reaching more than 25,000 physicians and 40 million patients across the United States. Veradigm also signed a teaming agreement to provide the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention access to the Company’s Health Insights’ EHR data set to advance and assist COVID-19 research, including analyzing and developing insights related to variants, vaccinations, long-term effects and other COVID-19 related questions. In addition, Veradigm signed an agreement with Moderna during 2021 to provide research consulting and data analytics services for eight real-world database studies focused on gaining a better understanding of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S. population.
Finally, during 2021 we further enhanced the Company’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (“DE&I”), through the launch of four additional employee enrichment groups for associates of diverse backgrounds and locations to help support the Company’s DE&I efforts. We also launched ADP Empower, an initiative through the Allscripts Developer Program that is intended to promote diverse voices in the healthcare technology industry by offering resources and support to underrepresented entrepreneurs.
The chart below compares the average for the three previous years of the target total compensation opportunity provided to Mr. Black, including base salary, annual bonus and equity awards, to the value for each element of compensation that was realized or realizable by Mr. Black as of the end of 2021. For the three-year period from 2019 to 2021, roughly 194% of Mr. Black’s target compensation has either been realized or is realizable. For the chart below, Mr. Black’s annual bonus amount in the column on the right reflects the average of the actual annual bonuses that he earned during the three-year period, as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table – 2021, 2020 and 2019. Mr. Black’s 2019, 2020 and 2021 realized or realizable equity includes PSUs and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) either earned and vested or eligible to vest in the future under awards granted in 2019, 2020 and 2021. All equity awards are valued using $18.45 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2021, and, in the case of PSUs subject to on-going performance periods, estimated performance as of December 31, 2021.
CEO Three-Year Average Target Versus Realized or Realizable Compensation
9
We believe the realized or realizable compensation and their relationship to target compensation over the three-year cumulative period is reflective of the Compensation Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for performance” in that differences between realized and realizable pay and target compensation, as well as fluctuations compared to prior periods, are primarily the result of our stock performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our annual incentive plan for senior executives and the PSUs. The very high percentage of Mr. Black’s total compensation that has been realized or is realizable is reflective of the Company’s positive financial performance over the last three years.
The Compensation Committee considered financial and operational results, as well as the Company’s stock price performance, when making compensation decisions for 2021. In designing and overseeing the various elements of the 2021 executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee focused on aligning executive compensation with financial metrics that the Compensation Committee believes are indicative of the Company’s ability to build and sustain growth and continued accountability for our long-term stock price performance with the use of rigorously-designed relative TSR PSUs.
The charts below illustrate the 2021 target total direct compensation opportunities (i.e., base salary and target short- and long-term incentive opportunities) for the CEO, as well as the average of such opportunities for the Company’s other NEOs. As shown below, 88% of the CEO’s 2021 target total direct compensation, and 86% of the average of the target total compensation for the other NEOs serving as of December 31, 2021 is at-risk compensation that is dependent on either the Company’s financial or stock price performance. Total direct compensation includes annual cash incentive bonus opportunities and PSUs, each of which are dependent on the Company’s financial or stock price performance, and service-based RSUs, the value of which is dependent on the Company’s stock price performance.
(1) Values illustrated reflect the percentage of each compensation element at target.
(2) “At-Risk Compensation” is compensation where the value is either based upon the Company’s financial performance or stock price.
(3) “Performance-Based Compensation” is compensation that is dependent on achievement against pre-established quantitative performance goals.
The at-risk elements of the Company’s 2021 executive compensation program are annual incentive cash bonuses and long-term incentive equity awards. With respect to annual incentive cash bonuses, the Compensation Committee approved the Company’s annual incentive cash bonus plan (the “2021 Bonus Plan”) with potential payouts that are fully contingent on the Company’s non-GAAP EPS performance. A threshold level of non-GAAP EPS performance must be attained before payment of any bonuses under the 2021 Bonus Plan.
With respect to equity awards, in 2021 the Compensation Committee approved annual equity grants to the NEOs in the form of:
10
As in recent years, the Compensation Committee chose to structure a significant portion of each NEO’s compensation as at-risk compensation, with the compensation actually realized by each NEO significantly impacted by the financial and/or stock price performance of the Company.
Executive Compensation Philosophy
The Compensation Committee engages in an ongoing review of the Company’s executive compensation program to evaluate whether the program supports the Company’s compensation objectives and is aligned with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders, taking into account input from stockholders including the results of the annual say-on-pay vote. In connection with this ongoing review, the Compensation Committee has continued to monitor the Company’s executive compensation program to evaluate whether the Company maintains best practices with respect to executive compensation.
The Company’s primary objective for its executive compensation program is to attract, retain, and motivate outstanding leaders who will drive the Company’s long-term success. The Compensation Committee seeks to establish and implement a compensation program for the Company’s NEOs that emphasizes pay-for-performance, and is designed to meet the following objectives:
The Company maintains the following balance of compensation practices that it believes enhances its pay-for-performance philosophy and aligns the Company’s executives’ interests with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders:
The Company HAS This Practice
ü Annual pay assessments conducted by an independent Compensation Committee with the assistance of an independent compensation advisor, with pay benchmarked against a set of comparable companies
ü Pay aligned with the Company’s financial performance and stockholder returns
ü Significant at-risk compensation for NEOs
ü A significant portion of NEO annual equity awards are performance contingent and tied to rigorous, long-term relative stock price goals
ü Double-trigger change of control severance benefits
ü Stock ownership requirements for officers (CEO 6x base salary and other NEOs 2x base salary) and non-employee directors (5x cash retainer)
ü Limited perquisites
ü Anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies
ü Clawback policy |
The Company Does NOT Have This Practice
X Repricing of options without stockholder approval
X Tax gross-ups for NEOs
X Excise tax gross-ups for change of control benefits
X Single-trigger or otherwise excessive change of control severance benefits
X Dividend payments on unearned equity awards
X Excessive perquisites
X Supplemental executive retirement benefits
X Guaranteed annual bonuses or equity rights |
Consideration of Stockholder Say-on-Pay Vote
The Compensation Committee considers the outcome of the Company’s annual say-on-pay vote when making decisions regarding the Company’s executive compensation program. The Company received approximately 97% support for its say-on-pay
11
vote at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This 97% approval from stockholders at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders follows similar say-on-pay results from 2020 and 2019, which were 95% and 99%, respectively, for those years. The Compensation Committee viewed the outcome of the say-on-pay vote as indicative that an overwhelming majority of the Company’s stockholders view the Company’s approach to executive compensation favorably. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee did not make any changes to the Company’s executive compensation program in response to the 2021 say-on-pay vote. The Company’s management continues to engage in dialogue with many of the Company’s largest stockholders, and the Compensation Committee intends to continue to consider stockholder feedback and the results of the Company’s say-on-pay votes when making future executive compensation decisions.
Compensation Procedures
Compensation Committee
During 2021, Jonathan J. Judge (Chairman), Michael A. Klayko, and Dave B. Stevens served on the Compensation Committee. Mr. Judge joined in May 2016 and became Chairman in May 2018, Mr. Klayko joined in May 2013, and Mr. Stevens joined in May 2017. The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities with respect to executive compensation include:
Role of Management
The primary objective of the Company’s executive compensation program is to align the program with the Company’s financial performance and the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that this alignment is best achieved through consultations with members of the Company’s senior management, because management is responsible for the Company’s day-to-day operations and for creating and executing the Company’s business plan. As such, the Company’s management provides the Compensation Committee with valuable insights into the Company’s day-to-day operations and future expectations, which the Company believes are supported by the rewards and incentives in the compensation program. In 2021, the Compensation Committee consulted with Mr. Black, Mr. Poulton and Ms. Vakharia in formulating compensation plans. Mr. Black, Mr. Poulton and Ms. Vakharia attended Compensation Committee meetings during which NEO and employee compensation decisions were made, but each was not present during the Compensation Committee’s discussions regarding his or her own compensation. The Compensation Committee also regularly meets in executive session without any members of management present.
Role of Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee retained Compensia to serve as its independent compensation consultant with respect to decisions regarding 2021 compensation. Compensia reported directly to the Compensation Committee and participated in Compensation Committee meetings. Compensia did not perform any other services for the Company in 2021. After considering Compensia’s relationship with the Company, the services provided by Compensia, and information provided to the Compensation Committee by Compensia, the Compensation Committee determined that Compensia met the independence requirements to serve as its independent compensation consultant and that Compensia’s work did not raise any conflict of interest.
Specifically, Compensia:
Market Analysis
The Compensation Committee considers relevant market pay practices and relative performance when setting executive compensation and incentive goals. Market practices, or benchmarks, are based on peer group disclosure. When making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee considers the market data in conjunction with other factors, such as an officer’s individual
12
tenure and performance, unique qualifications, and role and impact within the Company. Working with Compensia, the Compensation Committee established an updated peer group to be used in designing the Company’s 2021 executive compensation program. The peer group used to evaluate the Company’s 2021 compensation decisions included companies with the following characteristics:
The peer group used to evaluate 2021 compensation decisions consisted of the 21 U.S.-based publicly traded healthcare technology companies and general software companies listed below (the “2021 peer group”). For 2021, the Compensation Committee chose to remove Medidata Solutions, Inc., LogMeIn, Inc., and Navigant Consulting, Inc., due to their acquisitions. To replace those companies, the Compensation Committee chose to add Change Healthcare and R1 RCM, Inc. The Compensation Committee considers each of those companies to be financially or operationally comparable to the Company.

Elements of Compensation
The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs for its NEOs are competitive and appropriately designed to attract and retain key employees, reward performance, and promote long-term stockholder value. This section describes the elements of the Company’s compensation program for NEOs, together with a discussion of various compensation decisions.
The principal components of the Company’s 2021 executive compensation program were base salary, annual incentive cash bonuses, and long-term incentive equity awards. The Company also provides a 401(k) retirement savings plan with certain matching contributions, group health and welfare plans, and group term life insurance. In addition, the Company provides the NEOs with severance benefits upon a termination of employment under certain circumstances, including following a change of control of the Company, as more fully described elsewhere in this Amendment. The Company does not maintain defined benefit pension plans for its NEOs because the Compensation Committee believes that the existing compensation arrangements enable the Company’s NEOs to adequately plan for their retirement and that wealth creation should primarily be a function of performance for the Company’s stockholders.
Base Salary
Base salaries are paid to the NEOs to compensate them for the performance of their respective job duties and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee reviews base salaries of the NEOs on an annual basis. In setting annual base salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration the Company’s overall financial and operating performance in the prior year, the Company-wide target for base salary increases for all employees, market and competitive salary information, changes in the scope of an NEO’s job responsibilities, and other relevant factors. When considering market and competitive salary information, the Compensation Committee has historically reviewed peer compensation data, although there is no target compensation level. The Compensation Committee also reviews each NEO’s scope of role and performance, as well as the performance of the business units and departments for which he or she is responsible, to the extent applicable. For Mr. Black, the Compensation Committee evaluates his performance and determines any salary adjustment. For each of the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee receives a performance evaluation
13
from the CEO and a recommendation for any salary adjustment. For 2021, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Poulton should receive a base salary increase of eleven percent, which is larger than typical annual increases, based on his critical role at the Company encompassing both President and Chief Financial Officer duties and significant impact on the Company’s improved performance since 2020, as well as a review of competitive market data for his roles.
The following table sets forth the base salary rate in effect as of December 31, 2021 for each NEO:

Annual Incentive Cash Bonuses
Consistent with its approach since 2016, the Compensation Committee chose non-GAAP EPS as the financial performance measure for the 2021 Bonus Plan. The non-GAAP EPS targets established by the Committee tied the 2021 Bonus Plan to a rigorous goal based on a key measure stockholders consider when evaluating the performance of the Company. Non-GAAP EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding in the applicable period. Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income/(loss) as reported, and adds back acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense, nonrecurring expenses and transaction-related costs, non-cash asset impairment charges, and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investments, in each case net of any related tax effects.
Mr. Black and Ms. Khorey’s bonus targets, as a percentage of base salary, did not change for 2021. Mr. Black’s target cash bonus was 150% of his base salary and Ms. Khorey’s target cash bonus was 75% of her base salary. For Mr. Poulton, the Committee chose to increase his bonus target to 125% of his base salary for 2021 based on his critical role at the Company and influence on the Company’s materially improved financial position. Ms. Vakharia’s bonus target for 2021 was increased to 75% of her base salary to align with standard practice for the Company’s NEOs.

Bonus payments for the NEOs under the 2021 Bonus Plan were based on the Company’s non-GAAP EPS performance for the year. Pursuant to the approved non-GAAP EPS performance range, the Company’s reported fiscal 2021 non-GAAP EPS of $1.43, which would result in a bonus payment equal to 200% of target bonus for each NEO. Given the performance of each NEO and the
14
achievement over the maximum of the EPS range, the Committee did not exercise its discretion to decrease the cash incentive bonus payout to any NEO. Accordingly, the Committee approved a bonus payout of 200% of target to each NEO under the 2021 Bonus Plan.
In July 2021 the Company implemented the Global All In to Win Bonus Plan, which paid each employee of the Company, including the NEOs, a bonus of $1 for each $1 million in revenue generated by the Company from July 1 to December 31, 2021. Pursuant to the Global All In to Win Bonus Plan, each NEO received an additional bonus payment of $788 for 2021.

Equity Awards
Under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant incentive and non-qualified stock options, PSUs, RSUs, and other forms of equity compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that the issuance of equity-based long-term incentive awards to the Company’s NEOs is consistent with its stated objective of establishing an executive compensation program that aligns executives’ interests with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders.
In considering annual equity awards, the Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of the Company’s overall equity program, including items such as the Company’s total projected equity budget for the year, the Company’s aggregate equity usage relative to peers, and the available share pool; and it factors that review into its annual award decisions. The Compensation Committee also considers market data for the Company’s peer group, individual factors such as the performance, responsibilities and qualifications of each NEO, each NEO’s past equity awards, and the unvested retention value attributable to past awards when considering the amount and structure of equity awarded to each NEO annually.
For 2021, each of the NEOs was provided 50% of his or her annual equity award in the form of PSUs, and 50% of his or her annual equity award in the form of RSUs. As compared to 2020, the Compensation Committee reduced the percentage of the annual equity awarded to each NEO granted in PSUs from 75% to 50%. The Compensation Committee elected to make this change to align to the Company’s standard executive equity award mix prior to 2020 following a review of the equity practices of the companies in the peer group. Based on this evaluation, the Compensation Committee determined that it was reasonable to return to a mix of 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs for 2021, with such mix previously supported by the Company's stockholders as evidenced by the Company's strong say-on-pay vote support in prior years.
The PSUs were split evenly between PSUs that may be earned based on the Company’s TSR relative to a peer group of broadly comparable companies in terms of industry and revenue range measured over a single three-year performance period; and PSUs that may be earned based on the Company generating free cash flow from continuing operations during 2021 (the “Free Cash Flow PSUs”). The Free Cash Flow PSUs may be earned based on 2021 performance, and then cliff vest at the end of a single three-year vesting period from the grant date to further align compensation outcomes with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Compensation Committee chose the free cash flow metric for 2021 rather than the EBITDA margin metric used in 2020 to diversify performance focus in 2021 and because it believed improved cash flow performance would be critical to the Company’s short- and long-term success.
Using three-year relative TSR as the performance measure for 50% of the PSUs granted to each NEO is consistent with the annual approach taken for the Company’s NEOs since 2015. The Company’s relative TSR is determined by comparing the change in the Company’s stock price over the three-year performance period beginning on the grant date, taking into account any dividends paid (which are assumed to be reinvested in the stock). The change in value over the performance period is then used to calculate a TSR gain/loss percentage for the performance period. That gain/loss percentage is then compared to the TSR gain/loss percentages of the peer group companies to calculate the Company’s relative TSR percentile. The Compensation Committee believes that using relative TSR as a performance measure provides an objective measure of the Company’s performance relative to other investment alternatives similar to the Company with respect to both industry and company size/value characteristics.
The 2021 TSR PSU awards require above-market performance, with the 60th percentile and 90th percentile (or greater) relative to the peer group required for target and maximum vesting, respectively. In addition, if the Company’s TSR is negative at the end of
15
the three-year performance period, the 2021 TSR PSU awards will be capped at the target payout level even if the Company significantly outperforms the peer group.
The peer group for measuring relative TSR performance under the 2021 TSR PSU awards consists of the following companies:

The Compensation Committee selected the 2021 relative TSR peer group based on its review of comparability to the Company on key selection criteria including industry, revenue, market capitalization and stage/time from initial public offering. The Compensation Committee chose the group of companies listed above because the Compensation Committee determined that those companies are most aligned with the Company when considering the key selection criteria.
The Free Cash Flow PSUs represent the remaining 50% of the PSUs granted to each NEO for 2021. Free cash flow from continuing operations during 2021 measures the cash that the Company had on hand at the end of 2021 after paying operating expenses and capital expenditures. The Company’s management believed that achievement of material free cash flow improvement was the most important metric to continue driving the improvement in the Company’s financial position and stock price during 2021. The Company’s free cash flow performance prior to 2021 was poor. In January 2021, the Company disclosed a goal of generating a range of $90M-$100M in free cash flow from continuing operations during 2021. As the vesting target for the Free Cash Flow PSUs, the Compensation Committee chose the midpoint of that disclosed free cash flow generation range. For the threshold and maximum vesting hurdles the Compensation Committee chose 90% and 115% of the free cash flow generation range, respectively to tie award payouts to a rigorous performance schedule reflecting strong year-over-year improvement. The attainment of the year-end 2021 free cash flow generation range was designed to be challenging but achievable with strong execution of the Company’s operating plan.
The chart below shows the 2021 cash flow generation range that the Compensation Committee approved for vesting of the Free Cash Flow PSUs:

During 2021 the Company generated more than $115M in free cash flow from continuing operations. Based on the above range that the Compensation Committee approved, the Free Cash Flow PSUs were earned at 200% of target and will vest at the end of a single three-year vesting period on the third anniversary of the grant date.
The remaining 50% of the annual equity award made to each NEO for 2021 was in the form of service-based RSUs that vest 1/3 each year for three years.
When determining the amount of the annual equity award for Mr. Black and Mr. Poulton for 2021, the Compensation Committee chose to increase their awards from previous years based on their strong individual performance and the Company’s strong performance during 2020 along with a review of updated competitive market data from Compensia. Mr. Black’s award was increased by $1,250,000 and Mr. Poulton’s award was increased by $1,000,000. For Ms. Vakharia, her 2021 annual equity award was the first award that she received while serving as an executive officer and was determined based on a review of market data, the Company’s historical compensation practices and internal pay equity. The Compensation Committee chose to award Ms. Khorey equity in the same amount she received in 2020. The individual grant decisions reflect a review of quantitative market data and relevant qualitative factors including individual performance, time in role, scope and breadth of duties, and internal pay equity.
The following table illustrates the annual equity awards made to the NEOs serving as of December 31, 2021 for 2021:

(1) Represents the target equity award opportunity approved by the Compensation Committee as the annual equity award for each NEO included in the table. The target award values are not the same as the grant date fair values computed for financial reporting purposes and reported in the “2021 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table included in the section entitled “Executive Compensation” below because the target value of the TSR-related PSUs reported for financial reporting purposes is determined based on the application of a Monte Carlo simulation method, while the amounts reported above represented the target compensation opportunity approved by the Compensation Committee.
Pre-2021 Equity Award Vesting Results
The Company granted certain performance-based equity awards prior to 2021 that vest, based in part, on the Company’s 2021 performance. In 2018, the Company granted PSUs to the then-serving NEOs that vest based on the Company’s relative TSR over a single three-year performance period. The awards required the Company’s TSR relative to the peer group to be at the 31st percentile for any vesting to occur, and TSR relative to the peer group to be at the 60th percentile for target vesting. The Company’s TSR for the three-year performance period ended February 27, 2021 was -18.18%, which placed the Company at the 18th percentile relative to the peer group, which was below the threshold required for any vesting to occur and therefore no portion of the awards vested at the end of the performance period.
Consulting Agreement with Ms. Khorey
Effective August 5, 2021, the Company and Ms. Khorey entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to her employment agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, during a transition period from August 5, 2021 through March 4, 2022, Ms. Khorey would cease to serve as an executive officer, and instead assume the role of Executive Consultant to the Company on a part-time basis. If the Company did not elect to renew her employment upon the expiration of the transition period, such nonrenewal would constitute a termination of employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in Ms. Khorey’s employment agreement), and Ms. Khorey would be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement. During the transition period, Ms. Khorey was not eligible for a performance bonus for calendar year 2021 and her base salary was reduced to $103,400 per annum, except that her base salary in effect prior to the Amendment would apply for purposes of determining any severance benefits payable following the termination of her employment. The Company did not elect to renew Ms. Khorey’s employment following the transition period and her employment with the Company ended on March 4, 2022. At this time, Ms. Khorey became entitled to receive separation benefits consistent with a termination by the Company without cause. Please see the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change of Control” for a descriptions of the benefits that will be received by Ms. Khorey.
Benefits and Perquisites
Each of the NEOs participates in the health and welfare benefit plans and fringe benefit programs generally available to all other Company employees. Beyond this, the Company generally does not provide the NEOs with significant perquisites and personal
17
benefits in excess of $10,000. The total perquisites provided to each NEO are described in the “2021 All Other Compensation” table included below.
18
Severance Arrangements in Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into severance arrangements as a component of the employment agreements with certain members of its senior management team, including the NEOs other than Ms. Vakharia. These severance arrangements provide for payments and other benefits if the officer’s employment terminates for a qualifying event or circumstance, such as being terminated without “Cause” or leaving employment for “Constructive Discharge,” as these terms are defined in the employment agreements. A termination following a “Change of Control” (as defined in the employment agreements) generally results in the NEOs receiving additional compensation under the employment agreements.
The Company has eliminated single trigger change of control benefits and tax gross-up payments on change of control benefits. Any change of control benefit is “double trigger,” requiring termination of employment under all circumstances, including a situation where the officer is not offered a “Comparable Job” (as defined in each employment agreement) in connection with a “Change of Control,” and the officer terminates employment within 10 days after the “Change of Control.” Additional information regarding the above-referenced employment agreements, including a quantification of benefits that would have been received by each of the NEOs had termination or change of control occurred on December 31, 2021, is found under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control” section below.
The Compensation Committee believes that these severance and change of control arrangements are an important part of overall compensation for the NEOs, because these arrangements help to secure the continued employment and dedication of the NEOs, notwithstanding any concern that they might have at such time regarding their own continued employment, prior to or following a change of control. The Compensation Committee also believes that these arrangements are important as a recruitment and retention device, as many of the companies with which the Company competes for executive talent have similar arrangements in place for their senior employees.
Stock Ownership Requirements
The Board has approved stock ownership requirements for the Company’s non-employee directors and for certain executives of the Company, including each of the NEOs. The CEO is required to maintain an ownership level with a fair market value equal to six times (6x) his base salary, while the other NEOs are required to maintain an ownership level with a fair market value equal to two times (2x) his or her respective base salary. The initial measurement date is five years from the date on which the NEO became subject to the guidelines. Common stock owned outright, service-based awards outstanding, and deferred stock units are included when determining the ownership level. Stock options and performance-based awards are excluded. If the stock ownership requirement is not met after five years, the NEO will be required to retain shares equal in value to no less than half of the after-tax value of shares vesting from any equity award until the stock ownership requirement is satisfied. The stock ownership requirement for the Company’s non-employee directors is five times (5x) the annual cash retainer then paid to each such director, with no specific period for achievement.

(1) The amounts in this column represent equity awards granted under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan. The amounts reported are valued based on the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, with awards subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions calculated based on the probable achievement of such vesting conditions at the time of grant. In the first quarter of 2021, all current NEOs were provided 25% of their equity award opportunity in PSUs that vest based on the Company’s relative TSR compared to a peer group of companies over a single three-year performance period and 25% of their equity award opportunity in PSUs that vest based on the Company’s year-end 2021 free cash flow from continuing operations. The grant date value for the free cash flow PSUs was $15.16 per share. Assuming the highest level of performance is achieved for the free cash flow PSUs, the maximum value of such PSUs would be as follows: Mr. Black $3,125,000, Mr. Poulton $2,500,000, Ms. Vakharia $500,000, and Ms. Khorey $1,000,000. The grant date fair value for the relative TSR PSUs was $17.19 per share. The grant date fair values of the PSUs that vest based on the Company’s relative TSR were calculated based on the application of a Monte Carlo simulation model. The weighted averages of the assumptions used during the first quarter of 2021 were: risk-free interest rate of 0.26%; no dividend yield; and expected volatility using the historical volatility over the most recent three-year period for the peer group and implied volatility at 46.99%. In calculating the fair market value, three years was used to be commensurate with the three-year performance period of the awards. The interest rate is equal to the yield, as of the measurement date, of the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bill that is commensurate with the overall performance period. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, the vesting conditions related to the 2021 relative TSR PSUs are considered market conditions and not performance conditions. Accordingly, there is no grant date fair value below or in excess of the amount reflected in the table above for the relative TSR PSUs that could be calculated and disclosed based on achievement of market conditions. The grant date fair value of the PSUs does not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized by an NEO with respect to the award, which may be higher or lower based on a number of factors, including the Company’s performance, the performance of the companies in the peer group, stock price fluctuations and applicable vesting. The amount also includes the grant date fair value of service-based RSU awards. The service-based awards granted to all NEOs in the first quarter of 2021 was $8.19 per share. The service-based awards were calculated based on the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report for a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in calculating these amounts pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718.
(2) Amounts included in this column for 2021 represent cash incentive bonuses payable under the 2021 Bonus Plan based on the Company’s achievement of non-GAAP EPS goals and the Global All In to Win Bonus Plan based on the Company’s revenue from July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
(3) Amounts included in this column for 2021 are set forth by category in the “2021 All Other Compensation” table below
(4) Ms. Vakharia was not a NEO prior to 2020.

(1) The value realized equals the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date multiplied by the number of shares vested. Upon release of the RSUs, shares may be surrendered to satisfy minimum income tax-withholding requirements. The amounts shown are gross amounts absent netting for shares surrendered.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
The Company has entered into employment agreements with each of the NEOs (other than Ms. Vakharia) that provide for payments in connection with such NEO’s termination, whether upon a change of control or otherwise. The estimated benefits to be provided to the NEOs under the employment agreements in each of those situations are described below, including a summary of payments that would have been required had a termination or change of control taken place on December 31, 2021, based upon the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock ($18.45) on the last trading day of the year.
Payments Made Upon Termination
The employment agreements for each NEO (other than Ms. Vakharia) provide for payments of certain benefits, as described above, upon the termination of employment. Each NEO’s rights upon a termination of his or her employment depend upon the circumstances of his or her termination. Central to an understanding of the rights of each NEO under the employment agreements is an understanding of the definitions of “Cause” and “Constructive Discharge” that are used in those agreements. For purposes of the employment agreements with each of the NEOs:
The employment agreements require, as a precondition to the receipt of these payments, that the NEO sign a standard form of release of employment claims. They also include non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply for one year following such NEO’s termination of employment and a confidentiality provision.
Payment Obligations for Termination by the Company with Cause or upon Death or Disability or by the NEO Without Constructive Discharge
If an NEO (other than Ms. Vakharia) is terminated by the Company for Cause or as a result of such NEO’s death or disability (as defined in the respective employment agreement), or if an NEO terminates his or her employment without Constructive Discharge, he or she is entitled to receive:
23
Payment Obligations for Termination by the Company Without Cause or Due to Constructive Discharge
If an NEO (other than Ms. Vakharia) is terminated by the Company without Cause or an NEO terminates his or her employment for Constructive Discharge (except during the two-year period following a change of control), he or she is entitled to receive:
Payment Obligations Upon Resignation Due to No Comparable Job Following a Change of Control
Pursuant to the employment agreement with Mr. Poulton, if a change of control occurs and prior to such event the NEO is not offered a comparable job by the Company (or its successor), and the NEO resigns on or within ten days of the change of control, then the NEO is entitled to:
A “comparable job” under Mr. Poulton's employment agreement means employment following a change of control (i) with substantially the same duties and responsibilities as were held by the NEO immediately prior to the change of control; (ii) within 50 miles of the location at which the NEO provides services prior to such change of control; and (iii) at the same or increased base salary and target cash incentive bonus opportunity level as were in effect prior to such change of control. None of the other NEOs are eligible to receive severance upon a resignation due to no comparable job following a change of control.
Severance Upon Termination Without Cause or Due to Constructive Discharge Following a Change of Control
Pursuant to the employment agreements with each of the NEOs (other than Ms. Vakharia), if a change of control occurs and the NEO’s employment is terminated without Cause or due to Constructive Discharge within two years of a change of control or within 180 days before a change of control in connection with such change of control, the NEO will receive:
Severance Upon Termination by the Company Without Cause for Ms. Vakharia
If Ms. Vakharia is terminated by the Company without Cause, under the Company’s general severance plan she is entitled to receive:
24
Separation of Ms. Khorey
As discussed above, the employment of Ms. Khorey terminated effective March 4, 2022. In connection with her termination of employment, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Ms. Khorey. The amounts reported in the following table represent the amounts that Ms. Khorey received or will receive in connection with the termination of her employment. For purposes of this disclosure, equity awards that have not yet vested are assumed to vest at target performance and also are based upon the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock ($21.40) on the day that her employment terminated.

CEO Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Company is providing the following disclosure about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees to the annual total compensation of Mr. Black, our Chief Executive Officer.
We believe that the pay ratio disclosed below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and apply various assumptions and, as result, the pay ratio reported by us may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.
25
Ratio
For 2021:
Identification of Median Employee
We selected December 31, 2021 as the date on which to determine our median employee. As of that date, we had approximately 7,869 employees. Approximately 4,602 employees in the United States and 3,267 employees located outside of the United States were considered for identifying the median employee.
For purposes of identifying the median employee from the employee population base, we considered base salary, bonuses, commissions and overtime for calendar year 2021. In addition, for employees that commenced employment with the Company after January 1, 2021, we annualized their compensation.
In determining the annual total compensation of the median employee, such employee’s compensation was calculated in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, as required pursuant to the SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. This calculation is the same calculation used to determine total compensation for purposes of the 2021 Summary Compensation Table with respect to each of the NEOs.
Compensation Committee Report
The information contained in the following report of the Compensation Committee shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to otherwise be considered “filed” with the SEC, and such information shall not be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates such information by reference in such filing.
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the disclosures contained in the preceding section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in this Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
