#### Board and Committee Evaluations
We believe that a robust Board and committee evaluation process is an essential component of good governance. At AXIS, our Board and committee members conduct annual self-evaluations covering a range of topics. The self-evaluation process is facilitated and overseen by our Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Social Responsibility Committee to ensure a rigorous assessment of Board and committee effectiveness, priorities, and composition and to inform our refreshment and succession planning efforts. In connection with its last evaluation process, the Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Social Responsibility Committee reported and implemented actionable feedback to further improve the process.

#### Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons.
