CEO Pay-Ratio Disclosure
Pursuant to the Exchange Act, we are required to disclose the ratio of the total annual compensation of our President and CEO,Michael Barrett , to the median of the total annual compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO). Based onSEC rules for this disclosure and applying the methodology described above, we have determined that our CEO's total compensation for 2019 was$3,813,065 , and the median of the total 2019 compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO) was$134,169 . Accordingly, we estimate the ratio of our CEO's total compensation for 2019 to the median of the total 2019 compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO) to be 28.4 to 1. We identified the median employee by taking into account the annualized total cash compensation for 2019 for all individuals, excluding our CEO, who were employed by us or one of our affiliates onDecember 31, 2019 . We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time or part-time basis. We did not make any assumptions, adjustments or estimates with respect to their total cash compensation for 2019, but we did annualize the compensation for any employees who were not employed by us for all of 2019. We believe total cash compensation for all employees is an appropriate measure because we do not distribute annual equity awards to all employees.
Once the median employee was identified as described above, that employee's total annual compensation for 2019 was determined using the same rules that apply to reporting the compensation of our named executive officers (including our CEO) in the "Total" column of the Summary Compensation Table. The total compensation amounts included in the first paragraph of this pay-ratio disclosure were determined based on that methodology.
