Annual Self-Evaluations Our Board is committed to continually strengthening all aspects of corporate governance and our Board and the individual directors regularly evaluate their own effectiveness and the effectiveness of the Board process. As part of that review, the Nominating and Governance Committee conducts an annual review in which each director completes a self-evaluation questionnaire to assess overall effectiveness, including with respect to strategic oversight, interactions with, and evaluations of, management, board culture, board structure and operation, governance policies and committee structure, functioning, and composition. The results of these evaluations are aggregated and shared on an anonymous basis with the Nominating and Governance Committee, which then reviews and presents its findings to the full Board for discussion and feedback. Through this regular self-assessment, the Board identifies areas for further reflection and improvement and, as appropriate, updates or changes our existing practices. The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews, updates and approves the evaluation framework, including the director evaluation questionnaires, in light of changing conditions and shareholder interests.
