Director candidates must also have a willingness to devote sufficient time to discharge their duties, taking into consideration principal occupation, memberships on other boards, attendance at Board and committee meetings, and other responsibilities. In addition, director candidates must have an intention to serve an appropriate length of time in order to make a meaningful contribution to the Company and the Board. Each of our director nominees demonstrates the core qualifications listed here.

The Committee also considers specific criteria as provided below, that varies from time to time based on the Company’s current and future priorities and needs, and the balance of the candidate’s experiences, skills, and attributes with those of other members of the Board.

The Committee considers the following specific experience and skills for Board composition, as illustrated in our Board Composition Matrix on the next page:

In determining whether to recommend a director for re-nomination, the Committee also considers the director’s recent contributions and potential for continuing contributions to the work of the Board. The Board has not adopted a policy whereby stockholders may recommend nominees to the Board because of the Company’s status as a controlled company. The Committee may engage third parties to assist in the search for director candidates. The director selection process is described in greater detail in the “Corporate Governance” section of this proxy statement.

The matrix below is a summary of the range of key experience, skills, and attributes that each director nominee brings to our Board. Because it is a summary, it is not intended to be a complete description of each director nominee’s strengths or contributions to the Board. Additional details on each director nominee’s qualifications, experiences, skills and attributes are set forth in their biographies.
