 receive input regarding Board and committee practices and management oversight. Throughout the year, directors also have the opportunity to provide input directly to committee chairs or to management.

The Board and the Board committees are continuously evaluated for their own effectiveness throughout the year.

#### Formal self-evaluation
The Board believes that there are five areas where the Board should focus: Board and committee composition; Board culture; Board and committee focus; Board process; and information and resources.

Composition. Through the self-evaluation process, the Board assesses its overall director recruitment and succession planning processes and committee composition.

Board culture. The Board considers its role in setting the standard for the Company’s culture and values by forging a collegial and collaborative dynamic that values independent judgment and emphasizes accountability. As part of this review, directors evaluate how they interact among themselves and with management, including the importance of challenging and holding management accountable. This past year, the self-evaluation included a focus on enhancing Board skills, succession, engagement and refreshment as the Company continues to grow and mature its platform, product and service offerings and execute on its strategy.

Focus. The Board and the Board committees consider their effectiveness in performing key oversight responsibilities in a number of areas, including: strategy; risk; and management talent and succession planning. They continuously evaluate the sufficiency of information received and the time spent in these areas. They regularly reassess their oversight focus by engaging in dialogue with management, soliciting feedback from stockholders and other stakeholders, and receiving third-party perspectives on the competitive environment, opportunities for growth, macroeconomic trends, and geopolitics.

Information and resources. Through the self-evaluation process, the Board and committees evaluate the quality of meeting materials and presentations and the overall amount and type of information, education, and training opportunities they receive both from management and outside advisors and experts.
