. When there are in-person Board and committee meetings, the outside experts may also be invited to attend a Board dinner where they can engage informally with the Directors. To assist with staying abreast of the latest developments, Huntington periodically provides Directors with external education opportunities covering a range of issues facing the Board. These external education opportunities are offered at various times of the year by professional organizations, educational institutions, and regulators at various facilities and locations and cover a range of important issues facing directors of financial institutions and/or public companies generally. Insights gained from external continuing education programs are shared with the full Board. Codes of Ethics Huntington’s Code of Conduct and Ethics, which is overseen by the NESG Committee, applies to all our colleagues and, where applicable, to our Directors and to colleagues and directors of our affiliates. Our colleagues serving as CEO, CFO, Corporate Controller, and Principal Accounting Officer are also bound by a Financial Code of Ethics for CEO and Senior Financial Officers. The Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Code of Conduct and Ethics, and the Financial Code of Ethics for CEO and Senior Financial Officers are posted on the Governance Documents page of our website at ir.huntington.com. Any amendments or waivers with respect to the Financial Code of Ethics for CEO and Senior Financial Officers would also be disclosed on our website. We have also adopted a Service Provider Code of Conduct that sets forth our expectations with respect to service providers. Areas covered by the Service Provider Code of Conduct include ethical business practices, labor and human rights, health and safety, Corporate Responsibility, and privacy and confidentiality. Stock Ownership Guidelines The HRCC has established a minimum ownership level guideline for Directors based on five times the annual retainer fee for Directors at the time the requirement was adopted. Based on the retainer fee and the fair market value of our common stock on the date the guidelines were established, the guideline for Directors was set at 40,603 shares. Directors have five years to meet the minimum guidelines. Each Director who has served at least five years meets the guidelines.
