• the Class III directors are Edward Kennedy, Jr., Everett Cunningham, and Briggs Morrison, M.D., and their term expires at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027.

Upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors in that class will be eligible to be elected for a new three-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which their term expires.

Our restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our board of directors. Our restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in an annual election of directors, and that any vacancy on our board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our board of directors, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office.

Our board of directors, based on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors, has nominated the three curren t Class I members, Linda Bain, John Houston, Ph.D., and Laurie Smaldone Alsup, M.D., for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. Each of the nominees has indicated a willingness to serve as director, if elected. We have no reason to believe that any of our nominees will be unable to serve. However, if a nominee becomes unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies may be voted for substitute nominees selected by our board of directors, or our board of directors may reduce the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that nominees should represent a broad array of personal and professional characterist ics. Our priority in selection of board members is identification of members who will further the interests of our stockholders through their established records of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among our board members, knowledge of our business, understanding of the competitive landscape in which we operate and adherence to high ethical standards. Certain individual qualifications and skills of our directors that contribute to our board of directors’ effectiveness as a whole are described in the following paragraphs.
