The composition of our board of directors also reflects our commitment to diversity. We believe that multiple and varied points of view facilitate more balanced, wide-ranging discussion in the boardroom, and contribute to a more effective decision-making process. Of the five incumbent members of our board of directors, one (1) is female, and four (4) self-identify as ethnic minorities:

| ​ | Women:           | ​ | ​ | 1 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 20% | ​ | ​ |

| ​ | Non-minority:    | ​ | ​ | 1 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 20% | ​ | ​ |
