More specifically, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers: • minimum individual qualifications, including strength of character, mature judgment, familiarity with the Company’s business and industry, independence of thought, and an ability to work collegially; and • all other factors it considers appropriate, which may include age, background, ability to devote time to the Board, existing commitments to other businesses, potential conflicts of interest with other pursuits, legal considerations, corporate governance background, financial and accounting background, executive compensation background, relevant career experience, and the size, composition, and combined expertise of the existing Board. The Board monitors the mix of specific experience, qualifications, and skills of its directors in order to assure that the Board, as a whole, has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure. Although we have no formal policy regarding board diversity , the Board believes that a broad range of perspectives is an important component of a board, which includes such factors as background, skills, experience, and expertise. Moreover, the Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, disability, or sexual orientation in selecting director candidates. Director Characteristics
