Pay versus Performance

In this section, we are providing information about the relationship between the compensation paid to our NEOs and the financial performance of the company, as required by SEC rules. The following table shows the past three fiscal years’ total compensation for our CEO and other NEOs (expressed as an average) as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, the total compensation actually paid (CAP) to our CEO and other NEOs (expressed as an average), our TSR, our peer group’s TSR over the same period, our net income and our operating EPS.

⁽¹⁾	The amounts in these columns reflect the Summary Compensation Table and Compensation Actually Paid totals, respectively, for Mr. Blue for fiscal years 2020–2022. Mr. Blue became CEO on October 1, 2020. See footnote 6 below for additional information on how CAP is calculated.

⁽²⁾	The amounts in these columns reflect the Summary Compensation Table and Compensation Actually Paid totals, respectively, for Mr. Thomas F. Farrell, II, who was CEO until October 1, 2020. As he was CEO for a portion of 2020, information is included for the year 2020. See footnote 6 below for additional information on how CAP is calculated.

⁽³⁾	The amounts in these columns reflect the average Summary Compensation Table and average Compensation Actual Paid totals, respectively, for our non-CEO NEOs. For 2022, our non-CEO NEOs were Messrs. Ridge, Stoddard, Brown and Chapman; and Ms. Leopold. For 2021, our non-CEO NEOs were Messrs. Chapman, Stoddard, Brown and Farrell; and Ms. Leopold. For 2020, our non-CEO NEOs were Messrs. Chapman, Stoddard and Brown; and Ms. Leopold. See footnote 6 below for additional information on how CAP is calculated.

⁽⁴⁾	The calculation of TSR is based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 from the beginning of 2020 through the end of 2022 in the table, assuming reinvestment of dividends. The peer group TSR is represented by the S&P 500 Utilities Index.
