Source: pay-versus-performance disclosures, read from SEC XBRL company facts. "Compensation actually paid" is a revaluation of awards that may never vest, not cash received — a board that awards shares and watches them halve discloses the second, smaller figure, and that is the disclosure working rather than a pay cut. Only the years a company tagged where the SEC's data can reach them appear here.
