INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES • Assist our Board by identifying individuals qualified to become members of our Board, consistent with criteria approved by the Board, and recommending director nominees for election to the Board at each annual meeting of stockholders or for appointment to fill vacancies on the Board; • Advise our Board and make recommendations regarding the appropriate composition of our Board and its committees; • Lead our Board in its annual performance evaluation of the Board, its committees and the directors, as required and determined appropriate, and of our Chief Executive Officer and senior executive officers, as required and determined appropriate; • Direct all matters relating to succession planning for our Chief Executive Officer, as well as succession planning for the other members of senior management in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer and succession planning of our accounting and financial personnel in consultation with the Audit Committee; and • Perform such other functions as our Board may assign to our Nominating and Governance Committee from time to time. In connection with these purposes, our Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates potential new members of our Board, actively monitors and advises the Board about appropriate corporate governance practices, evaluates director independence under the applicable standards, and identifies the qualities and characteristics necessary for an effective Chief Executive Officer. Our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for developing and recommending to the Board appropriate criteria for selecting new directors and actively seeking out candidates for recommendation to our Board. In considering candidates for our Board, our Nominating and Governance Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials. There is currently no set of specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a nominee recommended by our Nominating and Governance Committee, as different factors may assume greater or lesser significance at particular times. Furthermore, the needs of our Board may vary in light of its composition, and our Nominating and Governance Committee’s perceptions about future issues and needs. However, while the Board does not maintain a formal list of qualifications, in making its evaluation and recommendation of candidates, our Nominating and Governance Committee may consider, among other factors, diversity, age, skill, experience in the context of the needs of our Board, independence qualifications and whether a prospective nominee has relevant business and financial experience, industry or other specialized expertise and a high moral character. Our Nominating and Governance Committee may consider candidates for our Board from any reasonable source, including from a search firm engaged by our Nominating and Governance Committee or stockholder recommendations. Our Nominating and Governance Committee does not typically alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates based on whether the candidate is recommended by a stockholder. In evaluating a candidate’s relevant experience, our Nominating and Governance Committee considers previous experience as a member of our Board. The current members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Messrs. Mueller (Chairman), Brightman, Kennedy, Roemer and Zawadzki, each of whom our Board has determined to be independent under the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE. The Nominating and Governance Committee held two meetings during 2017. Communications with the Board Our Board welcomes communications from our stockholders and other interested parties. The Board has established a process for all interested parties to send communications, other than sales-related communications, to one or more of its members, including to the independent or non-management directors as a group.
