#### Shareholder Recommendations
In accordance with the nominating procedures outlined above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider written recommendations for potential nominees suggested by shareholders. Any such person will be evaluated in the same manner as any other potential nominee for director. Any suggestion for a nominee for director by a shareholder should be sent to the Company’s Secretary at 400 W.

• the number of public company board, committee, and leadership positions the nominee holds,

• whether the nominee is currently employed or retired from full-time employment, and

• for incumbent directors, their Board and committee meeting attendance (see director attendance under the heading “Other Governance Principles” on page 31), and the extent and quality of their preparation for, and engagement at and between, meetings.
