Pay Versus Performance
​
Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding certain measures of the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last three completed calendar years. In determining the Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) to our NEOs, we make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the SCT. Note that for our NEOs other than our principal executive officer (the PEO), compensation is reported as average compensation.
In the 2022 Annual Incentive Program Performance Assessment as well as the Long-Term Incentive Program sections of the CD&A, we describe all of the elements that have a direct connection to the Company’s financial performance and to the CAP of the Company’s PEO and the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO). As the majority of total direct compensation is provided to our PEO and NEOs through long-term incentives, the Company’s stock price also has a direct relationship to the CAP.

Set forth in Footnote 1 on page 36 and Exhibit A to the CD&A is a full description of how non-GAAP EPS was determined. The Company believes non-GAAP EPS is a very important measure to investors and which is indicative of Company performance; accordingly, it represents a significant factor in determining both annual and long term executive compensation

The valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair values of performance shares reflect the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the applicable measuring date (or actual performance results approved by the Compensation Committee as of the applicable vesting date). Outstanding RSUs accrue dividend equivalent units in the form of additional common shares that are not distributed unless and until the underlying award vests and becomes payable. The value of dividend equivalent units are reflected in the values set forth above

The total pension benefit adjustments for each applicable year include the aggregate of two components: (i) the actuarially determined service cost for services rendered by the PEO and non-PEO NEOs during the applicable year (the “service cost”); and (ii) the entire cost of benefits granted in a plan amendment (or initiation) during the applicable year that are attributed by the benefit formula to services rendered in periods prior to the plan amendment or initiation (the “prior service cost”), in each case, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP

For the periods covered, no individual equity awards were granted and vested in the same year, except as it relates to the 2022 awards to Mr. Lembo and Mr. Judge, who retired on November 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and no dividends or other earnings were paid on outstanding and unvested awards. The valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair values of performance shares reflect the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the applicable measuring date (or actual performance results approved by the Compensation Committee as of the applicable vesting date). Outstanding RSUs accrue dividend equivalent units in the form of additional common shares that are not distributed unless and until the underlying award vests and becomes payable. The value of dividend equivalent units are reflected in the values set forth above
   
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block]
Relationship Between CAP for the PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs (Average) vs. TSR
​
As presented in graph below, the Company delivered positive TSR over three-year period, leading the EEI Index for 2020 but behind for the 2021 and 2022 periods. TSR is half of the measurement used for the Performance Share payout of our Long-Term Incentive Program. Three-year average EPS Growth is cross-referenced with the actual
three-year TSR percentile to determine the actual performance share payout as a percentage of target. Similar to the previous two graphs, compensation, however, fluctuated due to the impact of the change in executive roster over the same three year period.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block]
Relationship Between CAP for the PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs (Average) vs. Net Income
​
The graph below illustrates that over the three year period, net income consistently increased. The Company does not use net income as a performance measure in its overall
executive compensation program and therefore would not necessarily expect a meaningful relationship to exist between the measures.

Relationship Between CAP for the PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs (Average) vs. Non-GAAP EPS
​
The graph below illustrates the trend in CAP over the three years to our non-GAAP EPS. This illustrates that over the three year period, EPS consistently increased.
Compensation, however, fluctuated due to the impact of the change in executive roster over the same three year period.

Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block]
(4)
Set forth in Footnote 1 on page 36 and Exhibit A to the CD&A is a full description of how non-GAAP EPS was determined. The Company believes non-GAAP EPS is a very important measure to investors and which is indicative of Company performance; accordingly, it represents a significant factor in determining both annual and long term executive compensation
