| Evaluation of Candidates               |     | The Committee, along with an independent external search firm, conducts a thorough screening of potential candidates by reviewing their qualifications, conflicts, independence, backgrounds, and experience. The candidate pool is then narrowed down for individual interviews with the Committee and full Board. After interviews, the Board conducts a comprehensive review of candidates.                         |
| Recommendation                         |     | Interview and discussion feedback are assessed, and the Committee recommends final candidate(s) to the full Board for appointment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| Review and Appointment by Full Board   |     | The full Board appoints new director(s), who then stand for election by shareholders at the next Annual Meeting.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
