| Our Board has adopted a 12-year director tenure policy for independent directors that provides that (1) no person may be nominated to serve on the Board if they have more than 12 years of service prior to the date of such election (as measured from July 1, 2015, the effective date of the Spin-off) and (2) a director is expected to resign at the next annual meeting of stockholders following the term in which 12 years of service is attained.  See "12-Year Director Tenure Limit" under Corporate Governance — Board Function, Leadership and Executive Sessions below.  Director start dates in this proxy reflect director tenure since the Spin-off. |
