 Governance Committee. The Chairman of the Board regularly discusses Company matters with other directors outside of scheduled Board or Committee meetings. The Chairman of the Board also spends time introducing new unaffiliated business opportunities and service providers to the Company to further drive the Company’s strategic and operational initiatives.

The split between cash and RSU premiums for non-employee directors is heavily weighted toward stock awards, more so than many of the Company’s peers. This weighting aligns non-employee director interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders, but also presents such directors with potential downside risk, along with the potential upside benefit.
