Such factors many include general understanding of various business disciplines (e.g., marketing, finance, etc.), the Company’s business environment, educational and professional background, analytical ability, independence, diversity of experience, viewpoints and backgrounds, willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties and ability to act in and represent the balanced best interests of the Company, and the long-term interests of the stockholders, the Company’s other stakeholders, and the public benefit, rather than special constituencies. The Sustainability, Nominating and Governance Committee will consider director candidates properly recommended by the Company’s stockholders in the same manner by which it evaluates other director candidates.

The Sustainability, Nominating and Governance Committee met three times during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The self-evaluation process is conducted by a third party and involves written questionnaires that are completed by each director as well as one-on-one interviews of each director. The information collected through the written questionnaires and interviews is summarized and reported to the full Board, which engages in discussion of Board effectiveness in governance and support of corporate strategies, areas for change or improvement in Board practice and specific actions to be taken.
