| ■ We utilize a formulaic approach to determining annual cash bonus awards to executive officers involving objective metrics. | ​ | ​ | ■ We set incentive targets more heavily weighted towards equity over cash compensation. | ​ | ​ | ■ We grant at least 50% of long-term incentive equity compensation in the form of performance-based awards. | ​ | ​ | ■ We allocate a portion of performance fees to management, which may result in payments to them, from time to time, based upon the performance of investments made by our managed funds and investment vehicles. |
