Director Nominations

Candidates for nomination to our Board of Directors are selected by the Nominating and Governance Committee in accordance with the committee’s charter, and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates all candidates in the same manner and using the same criteria, regardless of the source of the recommendation.

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for seeking out and evaluating suitable candidates to serve on the Board. In so doing, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers: (i) the competencies and skills that the Board considers necessary for the Board as a whole to possess; (ii) the competencies and skills that the Board considers each Nominee to possess; (iii) the competencies and skills that each Nominee will bring to the Board; (iv) the contribution to the Board’s composition and diversity that the Nominee will bring, including the Nominee’s geographic location, gender, ethnicity and race; and (v) whether or not each Nominee can devote sufficient time and resources to his or her duties as a member of the Board. While we do not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees, the Company believes that candidates should be selected so that the Board of Directors is a diverse body, with diversity reflecting, among other things, age, gender, race, and professional experience. The Nominating and Governance Committee may retain recruiting professionals to assist in identifying and evaluating candidates for director nominees.
