2025 Proxy Statement 21

Report of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee

The duties and responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are broad. The N&CG Committee operates pursuant to the Corporate Governance Charter. In fulfilling the responsibilities and duties contained therein, the N&CG Committee actively reviews all Board principles, guidelines and charters. The N&CG Committee also maintains responsibility for overseeing senior management’s compliance with the Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Management. The N&CG Committee further identifies and evaluates candidates for Board membership, evaluates Board committee membership and recommends Company employees for election to Company officer roles. The N&CG Committee is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s ESG strategy. Lastly, the N&CG Committee establishes and maintains a Board performance review process and recommends changes to the Board based on the review.

Board Self-Assessment & Skills Matrix

The N&CG Committee has developed and implemented a prescribed self-evaluation process to assess the configuration and enhance the functionality of the Board and each of its committees. This process identifies current Board members’ attributes, expertise and experiences and creates a skills matrix, which is used to identify areas of improvement within Board structure and committee configuration. The self-evaluation is instrumental in evaluating the future needs of the Board in relation to the Company’s strategic goals and identifying the qualifications that a future candidate should have to aid in the achievement of those strategic goals. The matrix is periodically modified to add emerging skills based on dynamics in the environment. For FY 2025, skills regarding AI and cybersecurity were added for evaluation. The matrix shown below details the skills that are evaluated and a description of those skills. All Board members and nominees have "some experience" (scoring at least a “1” out of 3) in a particular skill. The darker shade denotes how many members and nominees scored a “3”, while the lighter shade denotes how many members scored a “2” and light gray denotes how many members scored a “1”.
