Nominees must also have the highest personal and professional ethics and integrity and the ability to assist and support our management team based on proven achievement and leadership in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated. Director candidates must understand the fiduciary responsibilities that are required of a member of our Board of Directors and have sufficient time available in the judgment of our nominating and corporate governance committee to diligently perform all Board of Directors and committee responsibilities.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee also considers these and other factors as it oversees the annual board and committee evaluations. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to our full Board of Directors the director nominees for selection.

The foregoing considerations were all applied by the nominating and corporate governance committee during a thorough process to review candidates for our Board of Directors. As a result of that process, the nominating and corporate governance committee recommended, and our Board of Directors decided to nominate, each of Ms. Cunningham, Mr. Hawkins, and Dr. Ledbetter as candidates for re-election at the upcoming Annual Meeting.
