Meetings
The Nominating & Governance Committee shall meet regularly either in person, telephonically or using any other method of electronic communication (or any combination thereof) as necessary to satisfy its responsibilities. The Nominating & Governance Committee’s actions may be taken without a meeting by unanimous written consent when deemed necessary or desirable by the Nominating & Governance Committee or its Chair.
The quorum necessary for the transaction of business is a majority of the members. A duly convened meeting of the Nominating & Governance Committee at which a quorum is present is competent to exercise all or any of the authorities, powers and discretions vested in or exercisable by the Nominating & Governance Committee.

- Board Structure; Board and Committee Succession Planning. The Nominating & Governance Committee shall engage in succession planning for the Board and key leadership roles on the Board and its committees. The Nominating & Governance Committee shall review, on an annual basis, the size, structure and composition of the Board as a whole and the skills and characteristics represented on the Board and each committee, and the requisite skills and characteristics desired for new Board members in the context of the current and anticipated needs of the Board, each committee and the Company, and make recommendations to the Board, as necessary.
- Board Member Nominations. The Nominating & Governance Committee shall actively seek individuals qualified to become Board members and recommend to the Board the nominees to stand for election as directors at the annual meeting of shareholders or, if applicable, at a special meeting of shareholders. In the case of a vacancy in the office of a director (including a vacancy created by an increase in the size of the Board), the Nominating & Governance Committee shall recommend to the Board an individual to fill such vacancy through appointment by the Board. In recommending candidates, including incumbent directors eligible for re-nomination, the Nominating & Governance Committee shall take into consideration such candidate’s skills and characteristics, independence, contributions to the Board (with respect to incumbent directors), and such other factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include, among others, professions, skills, geographic representations, knowledge and abilities, as well as breadth of perspective, viewpoints, judgment, experience with businesses and other organizations of comparable size, the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members, the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees of the Board, and the extent of the candidate’s ability to fulfill the role of office in light of any external commitments. The Nominating & Governance Committee shall consider any director nominees submitted by shareholders on the same basis as other director nominees. Further, the Nominating & Governance Committee may consider candidates proposed by management, but is not required to do so.
- Appointment of Board Members. The Nominating & Governance Committee shall not recommend an individual for appointment or re-appointment if such individual does not meet the director qualifications requirements in the Corporate Governance Guidelines.

The Nominating & Governance Committee shall inform the Board of subsequent changes to any nominee’s significant external commitments.
- Chief Executive Officer Succession.

The Nominating & Governance Committee shall also recommend the chair of each committee. In recommending a candidate for committee membership and/or for the role of a committee chair, the Nominating & Governance Committee shall take into consideration the factors set forth in the charter of the relevant committee, if any, as well as any other factors it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, the consistency of the candidate’s experience with the goals of the committee and the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other committee members.
- Orientation and Continuing Education Programs. The Nominating & Governance Committees shall oversee:
- an orientation program for new directors which shall include, but not be limited to, familiarization with the Company’s primary operating units and the charters of the board committees; and
