Board Leadership Structure

The Board is currently composed of seven Trustees, five Independent Trustees and two trustees who are not Independent Trustees (the “Interested Trustees”). Brad Marshall serves as Chairperson of the Board. Mr. Marshall is an “interested person” of the Company. The appointment of Mr. Marshall as Chairperson reflects the Board’s belief that his experience, familiarity with the Company’s day-to-day operations and access to individuals with responsibility for the Company’s management and operations provides the Board with insight into the Company’s business and activities and, with his access to appropriate administrative support, facilitates the efficient development of meeting agendas that address the Company’s business, legal and other needs and the orderly conduct of board meetings. All committees are chaired by Independent Trustees. Executive sessions, which are meetings of the Independent Trustees without the presence of Interested Trustees and management, are regularly held throughout the year. At each of these meetings, the Independent Trustees will determine which member will preside at such session. The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate in light of the Company’s circumstances and provides for the informed and independent exercise of its responsibilities.
