#### Board Leadership Structure and Lead Director
The Board has been led by an independent Chair since July 2018. Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Chair of the Board must be a non-employee who is an “independent director” as defined by Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Dr. Behrens was appointed Chair of the Board following her election in June 2019 and currently serves in that role. The Board does not currently have a lead independent director since the Chair is independent.

The Company believes that the current separation of the CEO and Chair of the Board provides a more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of management and is appropriate given the characteristics and current circumstances of the Company.

#### Board Risk Oversight
The Board as a whole is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk exposure as part of determining a business strategy that generates long-term shareholder value. Each of the Board’s standing committees focuses on risk areas associated with its area of responsibility. The Board believes its leadership structure discussed above supports a risk oversight function that enhances a unified leadership through a single person and allows for effective input from our independent Board members, all of whom are fully engaged in Board deliberations and decisions. The Board and its committee members communicate and interact with senior management at Board and committee meetings and on an ad hoc basis outside meetings on a frequent basis.

### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

#### Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that provide a framework for fulfillment of the Board’s corporate governance duties and responsibilities, taking into consideration certain corporate governance best practices, recent developments and applicable laws and regulations. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address a number of matters applicable to directors, including director independence requirements, share ownership guidelines, Board responsibilities, Board and committee service limitations, and meetings of non-management directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Investor Relations section of our website, under the heading “Corporate Governance.”

#### Proxy Access
The Company’s Bylaws provide for proxy access, which allows a shareholder or group of up to 20 shareholders (such shareholder or shareholder group, an “ Eligible Shareholder ”) that has maintained continuous qualifying ownership of at least 3% of the issued and outstanding Company common stock for at least the previous three years to nominate and include up to a specified number of proxy access nominees in the Company’s proxy materials for its annual meeting of shareholders provided that the Eligible Shareholder and proxy access nominee(s) satisfy
