 a diverse membership that can best further the success of our business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience and perspectives. The Governance Committee periodically assesses the skills, characteristics and experience required of directors, comparing our needs in Board composition and the individual skills, characteristics and experience of our directors. This assessment enables the Governance Committee to update the skills, characteristics and experience it seeks in the Board, as a whole and in individual directors, as our needs evolve over time in order to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capabilities. We are committed to seeking diversity and balance among directors of race, gender, geography, thought, viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, experience, and expertise. As our business transforms, we have continued to pursue ways to adapt and prosper from the ever-changing landscape and our Governance Committee has sought to expand the perspectives of our Board to provide us guidance and insight on this evolution. As part of our ongoing board refreshment efforts, we have added three new directors since 2020. Most recently, Mr. Kottkamp was appointed to the Board on April 23, 2025, bringing his extensive global audit and financial services experience and a wealth of accounting and regulatory expertise. In conducting each of these director searches, our Governance Committee considered the leadership, technical skills and operational experience that we believed would address the Board’s then current needs. We worked to identify candidates with the leadership, skills and experience targeted by the Governance Committee from, among other areas, the traditional corporate environment (including different stakeholders in the industry), government, academia, private enterprise, non-profit organizations, and professions such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and legal services and ensure that the pool of candidates included diverse candidates. We believe that this board refreshment process has successfully allowed us to identify candidates who bring valuable viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, experience, and expertise.
