 basis. During executive sessions, the independent directors raise and consider agenda topics that they believe deserve additional focus and raise new topics to be addressed in future meetings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |                                | The feedback received from the evaluations is discussed during an executive session with the Governance Committee and the individual committees, as appropriate. Policies and practices are enhanced or modified, as appropriate, based on the evaluation findings and other feedback, including one-on-one discussions. Follow-up items are discussed at subsequent Board and committee meetings as necessary.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |   |                  |

Based on the results of these evaluations, as well as ongoing feedback provided by directors, our Board’s practices have evolved over time through the implementation of enhancements such as: changes to committee composition and oversight responsibilities, additional presentations on specified topics, identification of focus areas for continuing education and refinements to board meeting materials and presentation format. 2024 Self-Evaluation Process For 2024, the Board decided to utilize individual interviews for the self-evaluation process and Mr. Roddenberry, our Lead Independent Director, interviewed each other Board member to solicit his or her evaluation of Board, Committee and individual director effectiveness, Board education, timing and scope of materials provided to the Board and Committee as well as other factors affecting Board dynamics. The Lead Independent Director then reviewed the results with the Governance Committee, composed of all the independent directors, and with each committee in early 2025.
