 Further, our auditor has full and unrestricted access to the Audit Committee (as hereinafter defined) of the Board at all times to discuss the audit of the Company’s financial statements and any related findings as to the integrity of the financial reporting process.

We believe that good governance leads to high board effectiveness, promotes the long-term interests of our stockholders, strengthens the accountability of our Board of Directors and management and improves our standing in our industry.

Board Leadership Structure

At this time, our Board of Directors believes it is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders for Louis Schwartz to serve as President and Chairman of the Board of Directors and Justin Kenna to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. The Chairman of the Board of Directors presides over all Board meetings and approves the agenda for meetings of the Board of Directors. He also works with the Board of Directors to drive decisions about particular strategies and policies.

The Board of Director’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our management has day-to-day responsibility for identifying risks facing us, including implementing suitable mitigating processes and controls, assessing risks in relation to Company strategies and objectives, and appropriately managing risks in a manner that serves the best interests of the Company, our stockholders, and other stakeholders. Our Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that an appropriate culture of risk management exists within the Company and for overseeing our aggregate risk profile, and assisting management in addressing specific risks.

Generally, various committees of our Board of Directors oversee risks associated with their respective areas of responsibility and expertise. For example, our Audit Committee oversees, reviews and discusses with management and the independent auditor, risks associated with our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and the steps management has taken to monitor and mitigate those exposures. Our Compensation Committee oversees the management of risks associated with our compensation policies, plans, and practices. Our Nominating and Governance Committee oversees the management of risks associated with director independence and the composition and organization of the Board of Directors. Management and other employees report to the Board of Directors and/or relevant committee from time to time on risk-related issues.

Although the Board does not have a formal policy on separation of the roles of the CEO and Chairman, we have kept these positions separate. Separating the Chairman and CEO roles allows us to develop and implement corporate strategy that is consistent with the Board’s oversight role, while facilitating strong day-to-day executive leadership.

The Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate for GameSquare. The independence of the Board’s committees and the use of executive sessions of the non-management directors allows the Board to
