 the selection criteria and appointment procedures for our Board members. When a vacancy exists on the Board due to expansion of the size of the Board or the resignation or retirement of an existing director, the Governance Committee identifies and evaluates potential director nominees and recommends candidates to the Board. The primary goal is to assemble a Board that offers a variety of perspectives, backgrounds, knowledge, and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience. The Governance Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm to be used to assist with identifying, evaluating, and screening candidates for the Board.

The Governance Committee also recommends annually the slate of director nominees for approval by the Board and the shareholders at the annual general meeting. Prior to its recommendation, the Governance Committee reviews each director’s skills, background, expertise, time demands, and contributions to the Board, to determine if each director is capable of supporting the Company’s present and future needs and should be re-nominated to serve on the Board.

In accordance with the U.K. Companies Act, the Governance Committee also considers shareholder recommendations of nominees (other than self-nominations) for election to the Board, and will include such nominees in our proxy statement provided that a complete description of the nominee's qualifications, experience, and background, together with a statement signed by each nominee in which he or she consents to serve as a director, accompanies the recommendation. Such recommendations should be submitted in writing to the attention of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee, Sensata Technologies Holding plc, c/o Sensata Technologies, Inc., Attention: Company Secretary, 529 Pleasant Street, Attleboro, Massachusetts 02703.

The Governance Committee continuously monitors Board succession and the rotation of our directors and actively reviews the appropriate skills and characteristics required of our directors in the context of the current composition of the Board, our operating requirements, the long-term interests of our shareholders, and the impact of director rotation. Seven of the twelve directors standing for election have joined the Board within the past five years . Following the election of our director nominees at the Annual Meeting, the Board will have twelve directors.

The Governance Committee and Board believe diversity of professional backgrounds, age, gender, and ethnicity enhance the Board's performance of its leadership and oversight functions. A variety of personal and professional backgrounds and experiences provide different
