 Corporate Governance Committee is focused on maintaining an optimal mix of tenures, backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. In its evaluation of director candidates, including the members of the Board eligible for re-election, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the current size and composition of the Board, the needs of the Board and its respective committees, the directors nominated or designated in accordance with the Stockholders’ Agreement, if applicable, and the desired Board qualifications, expertise, and characteristics, including such factors as business experience, industry knowledge, and skill sets. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider such factors as differences in professional background, education, skill, and other individual characteristics, qualities, and attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has engaged an executive search firm to assist in identifying and recruiting potential candidates for membership on our Board.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of the membership of the Board as a group, with the objective of having a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests with high character and integrity, and the exercise of sound judgment using its background and experience in various areas. The Board annually evaluates the performance of the Board and its committees. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews self-assessment questionnaires to evaluate the performance of individual members. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the director’s past attendance at meetings, participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board and the Company, and other qualifications and characteristics determined by the Board. Each director must ensure that other existing and anticipated future commitments do not materially interfere with his or her service as a director.

After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will recommend a director nominee for selection by our Board. Our Board has the final authority in determining the selection of director candidates for nomination to our Board.
