 the Company’s strategy and objectives. Our Nominating Committee assists our Board of Directors in identifying qualified candidates to become nominees for our Board of Directors of the Company.

Our corporate governance documents provide our Board of Directors with flexibility to select the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. In making leadership structure determinations, our Board of Directors considers many factors. At this time, each of the positions of Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company are held by different persons. Our Board of Directors has decided at this time to have different persons hold such positions largely due to the availability to the Company of multiple persons with many years of experience in the consumer goods packaging industry and extensive executive management experience with the Company. Our Chairperson of the Board has extensive experience in leading the Company, most recently having served as our Chief Executive Officer through August 2021, and has nearly thirty years of experience in the packaging industry. With his substantial knowledge of the Company and the consumer goods packaging industry and extensive executive management experience, our Chairperson of the Board effectively leads our Board of Directors in its fundamental role of overseeing the business and affairs of the Company.

As part of each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of our Board of Directors, our non-management Directors meet without the presence of management. These meetings allow our non-management Directors to discuss matters involving the Company without the presence of any member of management. Additionally, at each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of our Board of Directors, our independent Directors meet without the presence of management or inside directors, allowing our independent Directors to discuss matters involving the Company without the presence of management or any inside director. At these meetings of our non-management Directors and these meetings of our independent Directors, no presiding director is appointed and each of the Directors in attendance at these meetings is given the opportunity to raise issues, make comments and express views.
