 internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and the steps management has taken to monitor and mitigate those exposures. Our Compensation Committee oversees the management of risks associated with our compensation policies, plans, and practices. Our Nominating and Governance Committee oversees the management of risks associated with director independence and the composition and organization of the Board of Directors. Management and other employees report to the Board of Directors and/or relevant committee from time to time on risk-related issues.

Although the Board does not have a formal policy on separation of the roles of the CEO and Chairman, we have kept these positions separate. Separating the Chairman and CEO roles allows us to develop and implement corporate strategy that is consistent with the Board’s oversight role, while facilitating strong day-to-day executive leadership.

The Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate for GameSquare. The independence of the Board’s committees and the use of executive sessions of the non-management directors allows the Board to maintain independent oversight of risks to our business, our long-term strategies, annual operating plan, and other corporate activities.

Director Independence

Under applicable Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the listed company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1, the board must consider, for each member of a compensation committee of a listed company, all factors specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to such company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: (1) the source of compensation of the director, including any consulting advisory or other compensatory fee paid by such company to the director; and (2) whether the director is affiliated with the company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
