The Governance Committee regularly communicates with the Board to identify characteristics, professional experience and areas of expertise that will help meet specific Board needs, including:

▪ operating experience as current or former executives, which gives Directors specific insight into, and expertise that fosters active participation in, the development and implementation of our operating plan and business strategy;

▪ leadership experience, as Directors who have served in important leadership positions possess strong abilities to motivate and manage others and to identify and develop leadership qualities in others;

▪ industry/housing or franchising knowledge, which assists in understanding and reviewing our business strategy;

▪ accounting, financial and/or capital markets expertise, which enables Directors to analyze our financial statements, capital structure and complex financial transactions and oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes;

▪ cybersecurity and data privacy experience, given the heightened risk to the Company in light of the increasing level and sophistication of cyber attacks as well as the breadth of compliance requirements;

▪ consumer technology and product experience , which assists our Board in advising us on strategic initiatives and innovation opportunities related to product development and procurement; and

▪ public company board experience at mid-cap or large publicly traded companies, which provides Directors with a solid understanding of their extensive and complex oversight responsibilities—including risk management and strategic planning—as well as corporate social responsibility matters and furthers our goals of greater transparency, accountability for management and the Board and protection of stockholders' interests.

The Board believes that, as a whole, the Board represents diverse views, experience and background, and that each of the Directors is highly qualified and possesses leadership and professional experience, knowledge and skills that qualify them for service on our Board.

The following table highlights each current Director's specific skills, knowledge and experiences. A particular Director may possess other skills, knowledge or experience even though they are not indicated below.
