 of the business. The current members of the Board, including our nominees, hold or have held senior executive positions in large, complex organizations and have operating experience that meets this objective. In these positions, they have gained experience in core management skills, such as strategic and financial planning, public company financial reporting, compliance, risk management, and leadership development. Many of our directors also have experience serving on boards of directors and board committees of other public companies and have an understanding of corporate governance practices and trends. We consider the members of our Board to have a diverse set of business and personal experiences, backgrounds and expertise.

#### B oard Diversity
Over the past few years, we have refocused our efforts on Board refreshment. The Board believes the fresh perspectives brought by new directors are critical to a forward-looking and strategic Board while retaining those who have a deep understanding of TreeHouse’s business provided by longer-serving directors.

The Board is committed to having a Board that reflects diverse perspectives, including those based on gender, ethnicity, skills, experience at policy-making levels in areas that are relevant to the Company’s activities, and functional, geographic or cultural background. The Board assesses its effectiveness in this regard as part of the annual Board and committee evaluation process. As part of the search process for each new director, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee actively seeks out diverse candidates to include in the pool from which Board nominees are chosen.

#### Board Tenure Policy
The Board does not believe it should establish term limits. Term limits could result in the loss of directors who have been able to develop, over a period of time, increasing insight into the Company and its operations and an institutional memory that benefits the entire membership of the Board as well as management. However, the Board does believe that a mandatory retirement age for directors is appropriate and has adopted the policy that an individual may not stand for election or reelection to the Board if such individual (i) has reached 75 years of age or (ii) would reach 75 years of age during such individual’s term as a director if elected or re-elected; provided, however, from time to time the Board may re-nominate a director for additional terms if the Board determines that due to such director’s unique capabilities and/or special circumstances, such re-nomination is in the best interest of the Company.

#### Other Directorships
Directors and the Company’s executive officers must receive approval from the Chair of the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in advance of accepting an invitation to serve, or
