ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On April 30, 2018, Jan Koum informed us that he will not stand for re-election to our board of directors at the Annual Meeting. As a result, the list of nominees set forth in “Proposal One: Election of Directors” in the Proxy Statement is revised to reflect the removal of Mr. Koum as a nominee.
On May 7, 2018, our board of directors
appointed Kenneth I. Chenault to replace Susan D. Desmond-Hellmann on our audit committee, and appointed Dr. Desmond-Hellmann to replace Marc L. Andreessen on our compensation & governance committee, in each case effective immediately
. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Chenault and Dr. Desmond-Hellmann satisfy the independence standards for these committees established by applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq rules. In addition, Dr. Desmond-Hellmann is a non-employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and an outside director, as defined under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Accordingly, the current members of our audit committee are Mr. Andreessen, Erskine B. Bowles (chairman), and Mr. Chenault. The current members of our compensation & governance committee are Dr. Desmond-Hellmann, Reed Hastings (chairman), and Peter A. Thiel.
