 applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange listing requirements), the director must not have a material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company).

Pursuant to the policies listed above, we affirmatively assess whether each director has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment pursuant to these policies and corporate governance best practices. In addition to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s review, the Board conducts an annual review of director independence, during which the Board also considers each director's background, employment, affiliations, transactions, relationships and arrangements between each director or an immediate family member of the director and each of the Company and our executive officers. The Board has determined that each of the following non-employee directors who served during the last completed fiscal year qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the above listed guidelines, standards and rules: Ms. Massman, Mr. DeWitt, Mr. Ostfeld, Ms. Rahman, Mr. Scalzo, Ms. Spence and Mr. Tyler. As Mr. Oakland is employed by TreeHouse as our CEO & President, Mr. Oakland does not qualify as independent.

All members of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are independent directors, and our Compensation Committee members meet the enhanced independence requirements for Compensation Committee members under the NYSE’s listing standards. The Board has determined that all of the members of our Audit Committee also satisfy the SEC independence requirement, which provides that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than their directors’ compensation.

Our Board’s standards for director independence are available in our Corporate Governance Guidelines which can be located at https://www.treehousefoods.com/investors/governance/governance-documents.
