Directors and Nominees

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of nine directors. Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes with each class of directors serving for a three-year term or until successors of directors serving in that class have been elected and qualified. Each director elected at the 2025 annual meeting will serve for a term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified. At this annual meeting, our stockholders will be asked to elect three class I directors.

Our Board of Directors has nominated Wajid Ali, Thomas T. Edman and Chantel E. Lenard as class I directors. Mr. Ali, Mr. Edman and Ms. Lenard currently serve as class I directors. Mr. Ali, Mr. Edman and Ms. Lenard will stand for re-election at the 2025 annual meeting.

Julie S. England and Philip G. Franklin serve as class II directors and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2026. Rex D. Geveden, Pamela B. Jackson and John G. Mayer serve as class III directors and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2027.

In addition, pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Kenton K. Alder, who currently serves as a class II director, must submit his resignation and retire from our Board of Directors at the 2025 annual meeting. Because Mr. Alder will have attained the mandatory retirement age of 75, our Board of Directors may no longer defer and is obligated to accept his resignation. The Board thanks Mr. Alder for his service and many contributions to TTM.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is currently identifying and evaluating qualified individuals to be considered and ultimately recommended to the Board as the candidate to fill the vacancy that will be created by Mr. Alder's resignation and retirement from the Board.

As a natural mechanism to ensure continuity of our Board of Directors, to satisfy our obligations under the Special Board Resolution (the "SBR”) adopted by the Board and as required by the United States Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (the “DCSA”), TTM has continued the practice of providing for staggered elections of three classes of board members to serve three-year terms. During the period that the SBR is in force, our bylaws require that that (i) our Board be composed entirely of U.S. Citizens, (ii) at least three such members maintain a
