Board and Committee evaluation results are compiled and summarized by the Corporate Secretary’s Office. Directors receive the summary results of these evaluations. Committee evaluation results are discussed by the applicable Committee, and Board evaluation results are discussed by the full Board. Our Board considers the results when making decisions on the structure of our Board and its Committees, agendas and meeting schedules for our Board and its Committees, and changes in the performance or functioning of our Board and identifies opportunities for improvement.

The Board also conducts individual director assessments. The Lead Independent Director conducts individual interviews with each director to obtain his or her assessment of director performance, Board dynamics and the effectiveness of the Board and its

Committees, and to provide feedback about that director’s performance. These discussions are designed to help assess the competencies and skills each director is expected to bring to the Board. These evaluations have consistently revealed that the Board and its Committees are operating effectively, while identifying opportunities to improve the way the Board and its Committees operate. As a result of the evaluations, the Board takes concrete steps to optimize Board and Committees effectiveness.

DIRECTORSELECTION AND NOMINATIONS

DIRECTOR SELECTION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DIVERSITY

The Nominating and Governance Committee recommends individuals for membership on the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee considers a candidate’s character and expertise, performance, personal characteristics, diversity (inclusive of gender, race, ethnicity and age) and professional responsibilities, and also reviews the composition of the Board relative to the long-term business strategy and the challenges and needs of the Board at that time. The Board is committed to searching for the best available candidates to fill vacancies and fully appreciates the value of diversity, viewed in its broadest sense, including gender, race, ethnicity, experience, leadership qualities, and education when evaluating prospective candidates. The Nominating and Governance Committee uses the same selection process and criteria for evaluating all nominees.

Ensuring the Board is composed of directors who bring diverse viewpoints and perspectives, exhibit a variety of skills, professional experience and backgrounds, and effectively represent the long-term interests of shareholders, is a top priority of the Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board is strong in its collective knowledge and diversity of experiences in terms of accounting and finance, acquisitions, capital markets, management and leadership, vision and strategy, human capital management, operations and manufacturing, sales and marketing, business judgment, information systems and cybersecurity, software and technology, crisis management, risk assessment, industry knowledge, corporate governance, global policy and trade
