 or from among the non-management directors. The Board regularly assesses the appropriateness of the Board’s leadership structure at least annually, and when there is a vacancy in the positions of either the Chair or the CEO (or PEOs), given the specific facts at the time of assessment including, for example, regulatory requirements, the skills, expertise, and experience of individuals serving as Chair or CEO, and corporate structural needs.

At both the Corporation and the Utility, the Chair of the Board is independent. The Chair’s primary duties are to preside over meetings of the Board, including special meetings and set meeting agendas. For joint meetings of both companies’ Boards, the Corporation Chair performs these functions. Additionally, the Chair is consulted regarding each Board’s nomination process and the composition and chairmanship of Board committees. At both companies, the independent directors meet at each regularly scheduled Board meeting in executive session. These executive sessions generally are chaired by the independent Chair, who also establishes the agenda for each executive session and determines which, if any, other individuals (including members of management) attend. For joint executive session meetings of both companies’ Boards, the Corporation Chair performs these functions.

At each company, if the Chair is not independent, then the independent directors elect a lead independent director from among the independent Chairs of the standing Corporation and Utility Board committees. Currently, each company has an independent Chair, so neither company has a lead independent director.
