The Company notes that all of our director nominees conformed to our overboarding policy, which had been developed considering the policies of various institutional investors and proxy advisory firms, such as ISS. However, based on these voting results and changes in proxy advisor and investor expectations, our Governance Committee anticipates reviewing the Company’s current overboarding policy. In addition, the Company expects that all nominees for election at the annual meeting in 2023 will meet more stringent board limitations.
