Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Corrections
The Compensation Committee awarded bonuses to the CEO and CFO for achieving 100% of pre-defined fiscal year 2021 targets. Additionally, the filing corrects a prior reporting error regarding the CFO's compensation. The $212,500 bonus earned by CFO Lawrence A. Kenyon in 2020 was inadvertently reported as 2021 compensation in the January 27, 2022 Proxy Statement. This filing adjusts the total compensation figures to reflect the correct fiscal year attribution.
