 consider director candidates 16 TABLE OF CONTENTS recommended by our stockholders. Bradley Singer was initially recommended to serve on our Board by Company management. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from us and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of candidates for election as director. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in evaluating the suitability of individual candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates with personal and professional integrity, strong ethics, values and the ability to make mature business judgments. In evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider, among other criteria: experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; experience as a board member of another publicly held company; relevant professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry, operations and target markets; leadership skills; experience in finance, accounting and/or executive compensation practices; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to the Company’s business relative to other Board members; diversity of background and perspective; practical and mature business judgment, including, but not limited to, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board. Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, Warby Parker Inc., 233 Spring Street, 6 th Floor East, New York, NY 10013. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.
