Governance

We are committed to operating
our business in accordance with the highest moral, legal and ethical standards, as set forth in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
and other key policies. Just as we are stewards of the environment and bear social responsibilities to our employees and communities,
we are fiduciaries to our stockholders. To that end, we have implemented policies, procedures and best practices as discussed elsewhere
in this Proxy Statement.

Board Meetings and Committees

Our Board of Directors meets regularly
throughout the year. During 2024, there were 21 meetings of the Board of Directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that any
director serving as a chief executive should not serve on more than two boards of public companies in addition to our Board of Directors.
Moreover, other directors should not serve on more than four other boards of public companies in addition to our Board of Directors. Our
Corporate Governance Guidelines further require that the Board have at least two regularly scheduled meetings each year for our independent
directors. These meetings, which are designed to promote unfettered discussions among our independent directors, are presided over by
the Chairman of the Board. During 2024, our independent directors had 7 meetings. In 2024, all directors attended at least 75% of the
aggregate meetings of (i) our Board of Directors and (ii) the committees of which they were members, in each case that were held during
such director’s term of service in 2024.

Our Board of Directors has the
following four standing committees, each of which is comprised solely of independent directors: a compensation committee, an audit committee,
a nominating and corporate governance committee, and a risk committee. The table below provides the membership and meeting information
for 2024 for each of these committees
