Compensation Committee Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing risks related to our compensation programs and human capital management. The Compensation Committee reviews, and discusses with management, risks related to human capital management, including the company’s compensation policies and practices, and CEO and senior officer succession planning. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews with management whether risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices for all employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, as well as the means by which any potential risks may be mitigated. The Company designs the compensation programs to encourage appropriate risk-taking while discouraging behavior that may result in unnecessary or excessive business risk. Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the Board process and corporate governance-related risks, management of compliance risks, and certain ESG-related risks, including risks related to our corporate social responsibility and sustainability practices. Our Corporate Secretary provides periodic reports to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee on matters related to corporate governance. Our Board is also apprised of particular risk management matters in connection with its general oversight role, and approval of corporate matters and significant transactions. The Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure. ANTI-HEDGING POLICY Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees and any entities they control from purchasing financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities, or that may cause an officer, director, or employee to no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other stockholders. CODE OF ETHICS We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, our CEO, CFO, CAO, other officers and employees. A copy of
