Pay vs. Performance (Compensation Actually Paid)

What $100 invested was worth, company vs peer group
Pay by CEO — and how the company did on their watch
Item 402(v) reports CEO pay per person, so each row below is one CEO's own disclosed pay next to the company's performance over the same years. A CEO is counted as serving a year when the filing reports a non-zero amount for them. AHT discloses 3 CEOs across this window.
