Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Our board of directors has overall responsibility for risk oversight.  The board’s role in the risk oversight of the Company includes, among other things:

 

 

·

appointing, retaining and overseeing the work of the independent auditors, including resolving disagreements between the management and the independent auditors relating to financial reporting;

 

·

approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;

 

·

reviewing annually the independence and quality control procedures of the independent auditors;

 

·

reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions;

 

·

discussing the annual audited financial statements with the management;

 

·

meeting separately with the independent auditors to discuss critical accounting policies, management letters, recommendations on internal controls, the auditor’s engagement letter and independence letter and other material written communications between the independent auditors and the management.

 

Director Qualifications

 

Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s business consistent with their fiduciary duty to stockholders. This significant responsibility requires highly skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. The board believes that there are general requirements for service on the Company’s board of directors that are applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The board considers the qualifications of director and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the board’s overall composition and the Company’s current and future needs.

 

Qualifications for All Directors

 

In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by stockholders, the board considers the nominee’s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such other factors the board determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the board. The board also takes into account the ability of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company.

 

The board requires that each director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field. Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple cultures and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition to the qualifications required of all directors, the board conducts interviews of potential director candidates to assess intangible qualities including the individual’s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially. The board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experiences in evaluating candidates for board membership. Diversity is important because a variety of points of view contribute to a more effective decision-making process.


 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Common Stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, are required to report the ownership of such Common Stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash-only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to report, in this Schedule 14C, any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended December 31st. The Company believes that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by its executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock. In making this statement, the Company has relied solely on copies of any reporting forms received by it, and upon any written representations received from reporting persons that no Form 5 (Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership) was required to be filed under applicable rules of the Commission.
