Our Principles of Corporate Governance also provide that a director must have high personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, including respectfulness, honesty and a commitment to teamwork and high standards.

In addition, with respect to an incumbent director whom the Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee is considering as a potential nominee for re-election, the Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee will review and consider the incumbent director’s service during his or her term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation and overall contribution to the Company.

Any stockholder who wishes to have the Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee consider any potential nominee for election as a director is required to give advance written notice in accordance with, and provide the information required by, Section 2.13 of the Company’s bylaws. See “Additional Information – Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations for the 2026 Annual Meeting.”

There are no differences in the manner in which the Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee evaluates director candidates it identifies and candidates who are recommended for nomination for membership on the Board by a stockholder.

Board Diversity

The Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee has not adopted a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, although the committee and the Board are committed to a diversified membership. Pursuant to our Principles of Corporate Governance, in determining whether to recommend a director nominee, the members of the Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee consider and discuss diversity, among other factors, with a view toward the role and needs of the Board as a whole. When identifying and recommending director nominees, the members of the Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee generally view diversity expansively to include, without limitation, concepts such as race, gender, national origin, differences of viewpoint and perspective, professional experience, education, skill and other qualities or attributes that together contribute to the functioning of the Board.
