 relate to 2024 in this CD&A we are referring to annual base salary paid in 2024, and cash bonuses for 2024 performance but paid in early 2025.

For purposes of determining annual equity grants to our NEOs, our CNG Committee starts with a dollar amount (the “Par Value”) and determines the number of shares based on the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Company's common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the grant date. The amounts presented below with respect to the stock awards are the Par Value of such grants. These amounts differ from the amounts for the same columns included in the Summary Compensation Table because they are valued using a different valuation method and because SEC rules require us to include the grant date fair value of equity awards based on the date of actual grant rather than the performance year in which they were earned. For example, the awards shown in the Summary Compensation Table for 2024 were granted in such year but were based on 2023 performance.

On January 1, 2024, the Company granted Messrs. Barnes, Ilany, Maultsby and McKinney an aggregate of 1,420,833 PRSUs, which are intended to cover three years of long-term incentive awards. Messrs. Barnes, Ilany, Maultsby and McKinney will not receive another award under the long-term incentive program until 2027. For purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, such PRSUs were valued using the grant date fair value, as estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula embedded within a Monte Carlo model used to simulate the future stock prices of Tiptree, which assumes that the market requirement is achieved. For more detail, including the underlying valuation assumptions for PRSUs, please see Note 19, Stock Based Compensation, to our consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
