The NCG Committee believes that a range of backgrounds and viewpoints is useful for maintaining an effective board. The NCG Committee seeks a Board that is representative of our dynamic and growing business and has a good understanding of our stockholder base, customers and personnel. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, approximately 27.3% of our Board members identify as female or as a member of a minority group.

The NCG Committee also considers a combination of factors for each director, including whether the nominee displays or exhibits: (i) personal and professional integrity; (ii) satisfactory levels of education and/or business experience; (iii) broad-based business acumen; (iv) an appropriate level of understanding of our business and its industry and other industries relevant to our business; (v) the ability and willingness to devote adequate time to the work of our Board and its committees; (vi) skills and personality that complement those of our other directors that helps build a board that is effective, collegial and responsive to our needs; (vii) strategic thinking and a willingness to share ideas; (viii) a broad array of experiences, expertise and background; and (ix) the ability to represent the interests of all of our stockholders.

The NCG Committee has determined that all of our director nominees meet the criteria and qualifications set forth in our Code of Ethics, the Corporate Governance Guidelines and certain other criteria, including the criteria set forth above. Moreover, each director nominee possesses the following critical personal qualities and attributes that we believe are essential for the proper functioning of the Board to allow it to fulfill its duties for our stockholders: accountability, ethical leadership, governance, integrity, risk management and sound business judgment. The director nominee biographies below include a non-exclusive list of other key experiences and qualifications that further qualify the individual to serve on the Board. These collective qualities, skills, experiences and attributes are essential to our Board’s ability to exercise its oversight function for the Company and its stockholders, and guide the long-term sustainable, dependable performance of the Company.

The NCG Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders, and such candidates will be considered and evaluated under the same criteria described above. Any recommendation submitted to us should be in writing and should include any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate in support of that recommendation, but must include information that would be required under the rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies
