 Board in making its determinations with respect to the independence of directors. The Board has reviewed all relevant facts and circumstances and considered all applicable relationships of which the Board had knowledge, between or among the directors and the Company or our management (some of such relationships are described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions”). Based upon this review, the Board has determined that each of the following director nominees has no direct or indirect material relationship with us and is independent under the listing standards of the NYSE and our director independence standards: Mses. Carol N. Brown, Lauren B. Dillard and Peggy Lamb and Messrs. John H. Alschuler and Craig M. Hatkoff. In addition, the Board previously determined that Ms. Betsy S. Atkins and Mr. Edwin T. Burton, who retired following our 2024 Annual Meeting of stockholders, were independent under the listing standards of the NYSE and our director independence standards. The Board has determined that Messrs. Stephen L. Green, Marc Holliday and Andrew W. Mathias, our three other directors, are not independent. Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors Our Governance Principles require the non-management directors serving on the Board to meet in an executive session at least annually without the presence of any directors or other persons who are part of our management. In accordance with such requirement, the independent directors meet in executive sessions from time to time on such a basis. The executive sessions are regularly chaired by our Lead Independent Director.
