The figures were read out of the DEF 14A proxy statement on EDGAR by a language model and every number was then checked against the filing text; a figure that could not be found there is left out rather than shown. Totals follow SEC rules, which value stock and option awards at grant. Read the filing for footnotes and the compensation committee's full reasoning.
