Director Independence The rules of the NYSE require that a majority of our Board of directors be independent within one year of our Initial Public Offering. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person that, in the 51 opinion of the company’s Board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).
