 and services (2004 through 2005). In March 2011, Harry & David Holdings, Inc. (“Harry & David”), a company where Mr. Heyer had been Chief Executive Officer from 2010 until February 2011, filed a prearranged Chapter 11 plan under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Subsequently, Harry & David filed a reorganization plan in bankruptcy court in May 2011 and emerged from bankruptcy in September 2011. Mr. Heyer received his B.S. from Cornell University and an M.B.A. from New York University. Mr. Heyer is qualified to serve as a director due to his extensive operations, management and business background, particularly in the consumer and consumer-related products and services industries. Committees of the Board of Directors We have three standing committees: an audit committee; a compensation committee; and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each comprised of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter that was approved by our Board and has the composition and responsibilities described below. The charter of each committee is available on our website. Audit Committee We established an audit committee of the Board of directors, which consists of three members. Messrs. Meltzer, McLallen and Shimko serve on the audit committee and Mr. Shimko serves as chair. Each member of the audit committee is or will be financially literate and our Board of directors has determined that Mr. Shimko qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise. We adopted an audit committee charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the audit committee, including: • assisting Board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent auditor’s qualifications and independence and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors; • the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us; • pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures; • reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence; • setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors; • setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws
