ominating/Corporate Governance Committee oversees and plans for director succession and refreshment of our board of directors to ensure a mix of skills, perspectives, experience, tenure, and diversity that promote and support our long-term strategy. Historically, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has focused on succession planning issues in advance of the expected departure date for longer-termed directors. Specifically, new directors have been recruited prior to the expected departures to facilitate onboarding and integration of a new director or directors. The board believes the temporary expansion of the board allows for an orderly transition from the legacy board composition to the newly constituted board and for each longer-tenured director to contribute his or her extensive knowledge of, and experience with, the Company to each new director. In connection with director succession planning, the committee engages, from time to time, a search firm to identify director candidates for consideration by the board.

#### Director Nominees Proposed by Stockholders
The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider written proposals from stockholders for director nominees. In considering candidates submitted by stockholders, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of the board of directors and the qualifications of the candidate.
