In considering the independence of its members, the Board of Directors applies the independence standards and tests set forth in Sections 303A.02(a) and (b) of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE. Applying such standards, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Dominski, Hackett, Rau and Smith and Mses. Bazemore and Olsen, who collectively constitute a majority of the current members of the Board of Directors, are independent directors.

The Board of Directors held five meetings and acted two times by written consent during 2024. Each of the directors serving in 2024 attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the respective committees of the Board of Directors of which such director was a member, in each case held during the period for which he or she was serving as a director. Although the Company does not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders, all of the directors then-serving attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. During 2024, Mr. Dominski, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board, presided at meetings of all of the directors and Mr. Rau, in his capacity as Lead Independent Director, presided at all meetings and executive sessions of our independent directors.

The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to reflect the principles by which it operates and has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which includes the principles by which the Company expects its employees, officers and directors to conduct Company business.
