 this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Board will be responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and the Audit Committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps our management will take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether our compensation plans, policies, and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the management of risks associated with director independence, composition and organization of our Board, director succession planning, and our corporate governance practices. The committee members regularly report to the full Board on material developments in their areas of oversight. We believe that, given the small size of our Board and establishment of separate Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, our present Board structure is in the best interest of us and our stockholders.

Insider Trading Policy

The use of material non-public information in securities transactions or the communication of such information to others who use it in securities trading (“Tipping”) violates the federal securities laws. Such violations are likely to result in harsh consequences for the individuals involved including exposure to investigations by the SEC, criminal and civil prosecution, disgorgement of any profits realized, or losses avoided through use of the non-public information and penalties equal to three times such profits or losses. Further, insider trading violations expose the Company, its management, and other personnel acting in supervisory capacities to potential civil liabilities and penalties for the actions of employees under their control who engage in Insider Trading violations.
