 Board. Mr. Zevnik served as the presiding or “lead” independent director for such meetings during 2024.

Each of our directors is encouraged to attend the company’s annual meeting of stockholders and to be available to answer any questions posed by stockholders to such director. Unless one or more members of the Board is unable to attend, all of the members of the Board are expected to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting. All of our incumbent directors attended our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, except for Thomas Strickler.

Board Leadership

Our Board is currently led by Paul Zevnik, who was involved in the development, management and ownership of our predecessor entities from 1989 to 1996. Mr. Zevnik has served as a director since August 2000, as our Interim Chair from January 2023 to June 2023, and our Chair since June 2023.

Since 2004, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for an independent “lead” director. The Board appointed Mr. Zevnik to serve as our lead director during 2024. The lead director is responsible for (i) convening and calling meetings of the independent directors; (ii) chairing executive sessions of the independent directors and communicating with management relating to these sessions; and (iii) if requested by stockholders, being available for direct communication. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our non-management directors meet regularly, and our independent directors meet annually, in executive session and that our independent lead director presides at these sessions.

We do not have any formal policy regarding whether the Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be vested in the same person or two different persons, or whether the Chair should be an employee of the company or should be elected from among the non-employee directors. The needs of the company and the individuals available to play these roles may dictate different outcomes at different times, and the Board believes that retaining flexibility in these decisions is in the best interest of the company. Currently, Mr. Zevnik serves as the company’s Chair, and Mr. Christenson serves as a director and the company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Board may, however, make changes to its leadership structure in the future as it deems appropriate.

Our Board leadership structure is a traditional one commonly utilized by other public companies in the United States, and we believe that this leadership structure has been effective for our company. We believe that having independent chairs for each of our Board committees, only independent directors serving
