Our Corporate Officers are generally limited to serving on no more than one outside public company board, taking into consideration the time commitment and potential business conflicts inherent in such service. Review of Director Skill Matrix. The Nominating and Governance Committee annually utilizes a skill matrix to assess the capabilities of the current directors and any needs for the Board as a whole. The matrix itself is updated if and as necessary to assure that it remains relevant to the evolving needs of the Company and the Board. Board, Committee, and Individual Director Evaluations. The directors annually participate in a robust evaluation process focusing on an assessment of Board operations as a whole and the service of each director. Additionally, each of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees conducts a separate evaluation of its own performance and the adequacy of its charter. The Nominating and Governance Committee coordinates the evaluation of individual directors and of the Board operations, and reviews and reports to the Board on the outcome of these self-evaluations. As part of the evaluation process most years, the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board will meet individually with each director to generate and discuss any ideas for improving the effectiveness of the director and/or the Board. New Director Orientation and Continuing Education. The Board works with Management to schedule new-director orientation programs and continuing education programs for directors. Orientation is designed to familiarize new directors with the Company and the franchise restaurant industry as well as Company personnel, facilities, strategies and challenges, and corporate governance practices, including board ethics. Continuing education programs may include in-house and third-party presentations and programs.

We strive to instill an environment of open communication and strong ethics throughout the organization and in all our business relationships. Corporate responsibility oversight is conducted from the highest levels of our organization. Our Nominating and Governance Committee oversees our corporate responsibility and sustainability strategy, initiatives, and policies, and it reviews management’s assessments of such strategy, initiatives, and policies. Additionally, the other committees of the Board are briefed on corporate responsibility matters relevant to their scope. For example, the Audit Committee is responsible for enterprise risk management and oversight over the Company’s ethics program in promoting an ethical culture, while the Compensation Committee
