BOARD STRUCTURE AND COMMITTEE COMPOSITION Board Structure and Leadership The roles of Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer are separate. The Board believes separating the roles of Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on developing and implementing the Company’s strategic business plans and managing the Company’s day-to-day business operations and allows our Board Chair to lead the Board in its oversight and advisory roles. As a result of the many responsibilities of the Board and the significant amount of time and effort required by each of the Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer to perform their respective duties, the Company believes that having separate persons in these roles enhances the ability of each to discharge those duties effectively and improves the Company’s prospects for success. Superior’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide the Board with flexibility to select the appropriate leadership structure depending on then-current circumstances. In making leadership structure determinations, the Board considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business and what is in the best interests of Superior’s stockholders. If the Board Chair is not an independent director, the Board will appoint one of the directors to serve as the Lead Independent Director. Director Independence The Board believes that a substantial majority of its members should be independent, non-employee directors. Mr. Abulaban, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the only non-independent director. The Board has determined that its non-employee directors meet the requirements for independence under the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) listing standards. Furthermore, the Board limits membership of the Audit, Human Capital and Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees to independent directors. Audit Committee Financial Experts The Board has determined that both Ms. Richstone and Mr. Bruynesteyn qualify as audit committee financial experts, as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and meets the independence rules required for Audit Committee members by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
