Mr. Alberini was our CEO for each of the three fiscal years included in the table above. For each of fiscal years 2021 and 2022, our
Non-PEO
NEOs were Mr. Paul Marciano and Ms. Anderson. For fiscal year 2023, our
Non-PEO
NEOs were Mr. Paul Marciano, Mr. Secor, and Ms. Anderson.
(2)
See the Summary Compensation Table above for detail on the Summary Compensation Table total compensation for our CEO for each fiscal year covered in the table. The average compensation for the
Non-PEO
NEOs for each fiscal year covered in the table was also calculated from the Summary Compensation Table above.
(3)
For purposes of this table, the compensation actually paid (also referred to as “CAP”) to each of our NEOs means the NEO’s total compensation as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year and adjusted for the following with respect to each NEO:
 
  •  
Less the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year,
 
  •  
Plus the fiscal
year-end
value of Guess option and stock awards granted in the covered fiscal year which were outstanding and unvested at the end of the covered fiscal year,
 
  •  
Plus/(less) the change in value as of the end of the covered fiscal year as compared to the value at the end of the prior fiscal year for Guess option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and were outstanding and unvested at the end of the covered fiscal year,
 
  •  
Plus the vesting date value of Guess option and stock awards which were granted and vested during the same covered fiscal year,
 
  •  
Plus/(less) the change in value as of the vesting date as compared to the value at the end of the prior fiscal year for Guess option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and vested in the covered fiscal year,
 
  •  
Less, as to any Guess option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and were forfeited during the covered fiscal year, the value of such awards as of the end of the prior fiscal year,
 
  •  
Plus the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid during the covered fiscal year on outstanding and unvested Guess stock awards (no dividends or dividend equivalents are credited with respect to Guess options and, for other Guess awards, the crediting of dividend equivalents has been taken into account in determining the applicable fiscal
year-end
or vesting date value of the award),
 
  •  
Plus, as to a Guess option or stock award that was materially modified during the covered fiscal year, the amount by which the value of the award as of the date of the modification exceeds the value of the original award on the modification date (none of the Guess option or stock awards held by the NEOs were materially modified during the fiscal years covered by the table).
In making each of these adjustments, the “value” of an option or stock award is the fair value of the award on the applicable date determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the valuation assumptions we then used to calculate the fair value of our equity awards. For more information on the valuation of our equity awards, please see the notes to our financial statements that appear in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
each fiscal year and the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table that appears in our annual Proxy Statement.
The table above reflects the CAP (determined as noted above) for our CEO and, for our
Non-PEO
NEOs, the average of the CAPs determined for the
Non-PEO
NEOs for each of the fiscal years shown in the table.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the Summary Compensation Table Total to Compensation Actually Paid for our CEO.
