As set forth in the Related Person Transaction Policy, in the course of its review and approval or ratification of a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will, in its judgment, consider in light of the relevant facts and circumstances whether the transaction is, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests, including consideration of various factors enumerated in the policy.

Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review will not be permitted to participate in the discussions or approval or ratification of the transaction. However, such member of the Audit Committee will provide all material information concerning the transaction to the Audit Committee. Our policy also includes certain exceptions for transactions that need not be reported and provides the Audit Committee with the discretion to pre-approve certain transactions.

We also require each of our directors and executive officers to annually complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

There were no transactions since the beginning of our last fiscal year, and none are currently proposed, in which the Company was or is a participant, the amount exceeded $120,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
