#### Determination of Independence
The Board has determined that six of the seven nominated directors are independent as defined by the applicable listing and regulatory standards.

standards. No director has a familial relationship with another director, director nominee, or executive officer.

#### Corporate Governance Guidelines
On an annual basis, the Company reviews its corporate governance practices in light of any changes to applicable law, the rules of the SEC, and the Nasdaq listing standards. Among other matters, the Corporate Governance Guidelines include the following requirements:

• Two-thirds of the members of the Board must be independent directors based on the criteria under the Nasdaq listing standards and other applicable laws and regulations.

• If the Chair of the Board is not an independent director, the Board will designate a “lead independent director.”

• Directors shall retire at the first stockholders’ meeting in which directors will be elected following the director’s 75th birthday.

• Stock Ownership Guidelines require our Chief Executive Officer, non-employee directors, and officers of the Company to accumulate and maintain, after a phase-in period, an ownership position in the Company’s stock to more closely link their interests with those of other Company stockholders.

• The Board will have an Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Resources Committee, and Governance and Nominating Committee, each of which shall consist solely of independent directors.

• The independent directors shall meet in executive session either before or after each regularly scheduled Board meeting.

• In considering stockholder proposals and candidates recommended by stockholders for the Board (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8), the Governance and Nominating Committee will follow the procedures outlined in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Bylaws.
