Director Candidate Evaluation and Nomination The NGCRC engages in continuous Board succession planning and evaluation of Board composition, working closely with our Board in determining the skills, experiences, and characteristics desired for the Board as a whole and for its individual members, and also screening and recommending candidates for nomination by the full Board. While the Board has not established any specific minimum qualifications that a potential nominee must possess, director candidates, including incumbent directors, are assessed based on criteria established by the NGCRC in light of the Company’s long-term strategy, the skills and experience currently represented on the Board, legislative and regulatory developments, corporate governance trends, and any specific needs identified in the NGCRC’s evaluation of Board composition, among other considerations. The NGCRC is responsible for identifying and recommending individuals to the Board for consideration as director nominees for election at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders. The NGCRC uses a variety of methods for identifying director candidates, which may come to the committee’s attention through management, current directors, shareholders and other sources, including an external search firm.

The Board takes a thoughtful and robust approach to refreshment, seeking to balance experience and continuity with fresh perspectives. The Board strongly believes that maintaining Board continuity is important and recognizes the value of longer-tenured directors – who have institutional memory and have worked with different CEOs and management teams – along with middle-tenured directors and newer directors. The NGCRC is focused on achieving an optimal mix of director experience, perspectives and tenure when evaluating potential director candidates and current directors for nomination. As part of the renomination process, the NGCRC carefully considers the ability of incumbent directors to continue to contribute to the Board and the Company’s evolving needs. In addition, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines (Governance Guidelines) require that non-management directors whose personal circumstances change in a way that affects their ability to contribute to the Company, including a change in their principal position, primary job responsibilities, or personal circumstances, offer their resignation for the Board’s consideration.
