Board Leadership Structure

The Board has consistently maintained an independent Chair of the Board. Mr. Matin joined our Board in 2014 and took on the role of Chair in June 2021. The Board has made a determination that the Board leadership structure is appropriate and that the structure allows the Board to fulfill its duties effectively and efficiently. The Company has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate because the Chair of the Board is independent, as defined by the NYSE and the SEC. An independent Chair, like independent Board members, allows for an objective evaluation of the performance of the Company and its officers. Nonetheless, the Board recognizes that the Chief Executive Officer has invaluable insight into the Company due to the nature of his position, and recognizes the value of having him on the Board. Accordingly, the Board believes that the Company’s stockholders and interests are best served by having the Chief Executive Officer serve as a director but not a Board committee member.

Board Committees and Meetings

The Board held six meetings during 2024 and acted by unanimous written consent on two additional occasions. The Board has a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and a Strategy and Technology Committee and an ad hoc Litigation Committee. The Board has determined that the chairs and committee members of the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, are independent under applicable NYSE and SEC rules.

The members and chairs who serve on the permanent Committees currently and during 2024 are identified in the table below. In June 2024, Ms. Hawthorne transitioned from being a member of the Audit Committee to being the Chair of the committee and its financial expert. At the same time, VADM Dyer joined the Audit Committee and Ms. Lindstrom joined the Compensation Committee. Ms. Obermaier joined the Board in June 2024, at which time she joined the Strategy and Technology Committee as well.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee held five meetings during 2024 and acted by unanimous written consent on seven additional occasions. The Compensation Committee meets in executive session without management present on a regular basis. The Compensation Committee reviews our general compensation policies, sets the compensation levels for our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, administers our equity plans, and approves all equity grants to employees and consultants. The Compensation Committee approves the compensation, including incentive
