-1 and Nasdaq that provides for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation in the event we are required to restate our financial statements. The Clawback Policy provides that, in the event of the restatement of any financial reporting required under the securities laws or other similar laws or regulations, our board of directors (or applicable committee thereof) will take such actions as necessary to recover the portion of any incentive-based compensation that was granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure which was received by the executive officer that was in excess of the amount that he or she would have received had our financial results been calculated under the restated financial statements; provided that such compensation was paid to or awarded to the executive officer, or which vested (or became eligible to vest) during the Clawback Period. “Clawback Period” under the Clawback Policy is defined as the three completed fiscal years immediately prior to the date on which our board of directors or management determine we are required to (or we are otherwise legally directed to) prepare an accounting restatement and any transition period between the last day of our previous fiscal year end and the first day of our new fiscal year (that results from a change in our fiscal year) within or immediately following such three-year period; provided that any transition period between the last day of our previous fiscal year end and the first day of its new fiscal year that comprises a period of nine to 12 months will be deemed a completed fiscal year. Accounting and Tax Considerations Accounting Considerations The Compensation Committee considers accounting implications when designing compensation plans and arrangements for our NEOs and other employees. We follow ASC718 for our stock-based compensation awards. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and RSUs, based on the grant-date fair value of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though our executive officers may never realize any value from their awards. Tax Considerations The Compensation Committee generally takes into consideration the tax implications to Day One of our NEO compensation program. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that public companies may not take a federal income tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million per year paid to certain executives, including current and former NEOs. We believe the Compensation Committee’s ability to provide compensation that is non-deductible allows us to tailor compensation to the needs of our Company and our NEOs and benefits our stockholders
