 Our Board of Directors believes that the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer facilitates information flow between management and the Board of Directors, which we believe is critical to effective governance. Our Board of Directors appointed David A. Minella as our lead independent director. As discussed below, Mr. Minella serves as the chair of all executive sessions of our non-management directors.

To efficiently oversee the Company’s risks, the committees of the Board of Directors are tasked with oversight responsibility for particular areas of risk. For example, the Audit Committee oversees management of risks related to accounting, auditing, financial reporting, IT matters (including cybersecurity and related matters) and maintaining effective internal controls for financial reporting. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to the Company’s executive compensation policies and practices. The Nominating Committee oversees risks related to the effectiveness of the Board of Directors. The Capital Markets Committee oversees risks related to the Company’s capital market activities, foreign currency exposure and debt. The ESG Committee oversees the Company’s ESG responsibilities and commitments and is responsible for formulating procedures for implementing its ESG policy.
