Internalization”). As a result of the Internalization, we began operating as a fully integrated, internally managed company. The Board of Directors Our Board oversees our internal management team. The Board is informed about our business at meetings of the Board and its committees and through supplemental reports and communications. There were four regular meetings of the Board in 2024 and one special meeting. Each of the directors serving at the time attended all of the meetings of the Board. Each independent director also attended all committee meetings for the committees on which the director served in 2024. Although our company does not have a policy regarding board members’ attendance at the Annual Meeting, all of our directors participated in the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. In accordance with NYSE requirements and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the independent directors of the Board regularly meet in executive session without management present. Generally, these executive sessions follow a meeting of the Board or of the Audit Committee. The lead independent director presides over such executive sessions. In 2024, the independent directors of the Board met in executive session nine times without management present. The Board has established three standing committees that are comprised solely of independent directors, the principal functions of which are briefly described below. Matters put to a vote at any one of our committees must be approved by a majority of the directors on the committee who are present at a meeting at which there is a quorum or by unanimous written consent of the directors on that committee. Lead Independent Director Mr. Murin, the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, serves as the lead independent director. The lead independent director generally is the point of contact for persons desiring to communicate directly with the independent directors. All interested parties may do so by using the IR Contact tab under the Investor Relations section on our website, which is www.chmireit.com, and leaving a message.
