Stock Performance Graph
The graph set forth below compares the annual percentage change in our cumulative total stockholder return on our common stock during a period commencing on December 31, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2021 (as measured by dividing (A) the difference between our share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by (B) our share price at the beginning of the measurement period) with the cumulative total return of The Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC) and the Nasdaq Health Care Index (IXHC) during such period. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not include cash dividends in the representation of our performance. The price of a share of common stock is based upon the closing price per share as quoted on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the last trading day of the year shown. The graph lines merely connect year-end values and do not reflect fluctuations between those dates. The comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2016 in our common stock and in each of the foregoing indices. The comparisons shown in the graph below are based upon historical data.
