### DIRECTOR ONBOARDING AND ENGAGEMENT
All directors are expected to invest the time and energy required to gain an in-depth understanding of our business and strategy. Our director onboarding program is designed to reduce the learning curve for new members and enable them to provide meaningful contributions to the oversight of the Company as early in their tenures as possible. It consists of two phases. Phase one is designed to provide a solid foundation on our businesses, financial performance, strategy, risk and governance. New directors devote numerous briefing sessions with senior management to review key functional areas of the Company and their committee assignment responsibilities. Phase two is an opportunity for new directors to continue learning about the business at their discretion after they have been on the Board for six to twelve months. Directors are afforded time to familiarize themselves with the Company so they can identify areas for additional education and development. In addition, we have formalized our board mentorship program to help integrate members with experienced directors. New directors are also encouraged to attend all committee meetings during their first year to help accelerate their understanding of the Company and the Board.

Our Board members also participate in Company activities and engage directly with our employees at a variety of events throughout the year, including participation in senior leadership team meetings, employee town halls and employee resource group meetings.

#### BOARD COMPOSITION AND DIRECTOR TENURE
The Nominating Committee strives for a Board that includes a mix of varying perspectives and breadth of experience. Newer directors bring fresh ideas and perspectives, while longer tenured directors bring extensive knowledge of our complex operations. As part of its annual evaluation process, the Board assesses its overall composition, including director tenure, and does not believe the independence of any director nominee is compromised solely due to Board tenure. The Board believes that its rigorous self-evaluation process (described above), combined with its mandatory retirement policy at age 75, are effective in promoting Board renewal, as demonstrated by the addition of ten new directors since 2015.

The chart below reflects the tenure range and average tenure of the director nominees standing for election.
