 Overboarding Policy and Time Commitments |

Our overboarding policy, which is reviewed on an annual basis, states that subject to such exceptions on a case by case basis as the board shall determine, no non-executive director can serve on more than 4 public boards (including ADP) and, in the case of a director who is an executive officer of ADP or other company, no more than 2 public boards (including ADP). Our corporate governance principles further state that directors should plan to make a significant time commitment to the company and that the board’s assessment of individuals for new or continued service on the board includes this consideration, among other things. The board understands the importance of evaluating the contributions of each of its members and will continue to engage in an in-depth review of each member’s contributions on at least an annual basis before their renomination to the board.
