 in the standards set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Each member of the Audit Committee of the Board meets the heightened independence standards required for audit committee members under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Our Board structure provides for an independent, non-executive Chairman whose principal responsibility to our Company is leading the Board, thereby allowing our President and CEO to focus on running our Company. We believe that this structure is optimal at this time as it allows the President and CEO to more readily devote his attention and energy to the challenges of managing the business while the Chairman facilitates board activities and the flow of information between management and the Board.

Our Board currently has seven independent members and one non-independent member, our President and CEO. As previously disclosed, Mr. Griffin announced his retirement from the Board effective as of this Annual Meeting. Upon Mr. Griffin's retirement, our Board will have six independent members and one non-independent member, our President and CEO. Collectively, these individuals offer decades of relevant industry expertise, executive management experience and governance expertise. A number of our independent board members also serve, or have served, as members of senior management or as directors of other public companies. We have three board committees consisting entirely of independent directors, each of which is chaired by a different director. We believe the independence of all but our President and CEO and background of the individuals who comprise our Board, along with the oversight of a non-executive Chairman, offers our Company and our stockholders diverse leadership and governance experience, including manufacturing, transportation, distribution, logistics, and finance.

Our independent directors hold regularly scheduled meetings in executive session, at which only independent directors and the Chief Legal Officer are present. As provided in our NG&S Committee charter, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of the NG&S Committee serves as chairman of the meetings of the independent directors in executive session. Stockholders and third parties may communicate with our independent directors through the Chairman of the NG&S Committee, c/o Aneezal H. Mohamed, Chief Legal Officer, Compliance Officer and Secretary, Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., 7800 Walton Parkway, New Albany, Ohio 43054. During 2024, our independent directors met in
