 In addition, the Board established certain guidelines to assist it in making any such determinations regarding director independence (the "Independence Guidelines"), which are available on our website at ir.arcosa.com under the heading "Corporate Governance — Additional Governance Documents — Arcosa Categorical Standards of Director Independence." The Independence Guidelines set forth commercial and charitable relationships which may not rise to the level of material relationships that would impair a director’s independence as set forth in the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. The determination of whether such relationships as described in the Independence Guidelines actually impair a director’s independence is made by the Board on a case-by-case basis.

The Board undertook its annual review of director independence and considered transactions and relationships between each director, or any member of his or her immediate family, and Arcosa and its subsidiaries and affiliates. In making its determination, the Board applied the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations, together with the Independence Guidelines.

As a result of its review, the Board affirmatively determined that the following directors are independent of Arcosa and its management under the standards set forth in the NYSE listing standards and the SEC rules and regulations: Joseph Alvarado, Rhys J. Best, Jeffrey A. Craig, Steven J. Demetriou, John W. Lindsay, Kimberly S. Lubel, Julie A. Piggott, and Melanie M. Trent. The Board determined that Antonio Carrillo is not independent because of his employment by Arcosa.

Our Audit Committee, G&S Committee, and HR Committee are each comprised entirely of independent directors, providing a structure for strong independent oversight of our management.
