GOVERNANCE

Business and Financial Engagements

When an entity with which a Director has a relationship proposes to enter into a business or financial engagement
with the Company (or its subsidiaries, joint ventures or affiliates) with a value greater than $250,000, the
Director shall give written notice to the Chair, with a copy to the CEO. The Chair may present the request to the
Board for its consideration of any potential or perceived conflicts of interest or independence issue.
Retirement
For directors retained after January 1, 2018, directors must retire at the conclusion of the Board year in
which they turn 72. The Board may make exceptions to this provision in its discretion.
2. FUNCTIONING OF THE BOARD
Agendas

The Chair establishes the agenda for each Board meeting in consultation with the CEO. Agenda items that fall within the scope of
responsibilities of a Board committee are reviewed with the chair of that committee. Directors are encouraged to suggest the inclusion
of items on the agenda. Directors are also free to raise subjects at a Board meeting that are not on the agenda for that meeting.
Distribution and Review of Board Materials
Board materials related to agenda items are provided to directors sufficiently in advance of Board meetings
to allow directors to review and prepare for discussion of the items at the meeting. In some cases, due to
timing or the sensitive nature of an issue, materials are presented only at the Board meeting.
Executive Sessions
The non-management directors meet in executive session at every meeting. The Chair presides at
executive sessions. The Chair confers with the CEO following executive sessions of the non-management
directors to communicate issues discussed and if needed, to ensure appropriate follow-up.
Strategic Planning

The Board’s review of the Company’s long-term strategic plan and business unit initiatives is an ongoing responsibility.
3. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONING OF COMMITTEES
Number, Structure and Independence of Committees
The Board has two standing committees: Audit and Finance and Compensation and Talent. These committees consist solely of independent
directors. The Board may also establish and maintain other committees from time to time as it deems necessary and appropriate.
Assignment of Committee Members
The Chair considers and makes recommendations to the Board regarding committee size, structure, composition, functions,
and the committee charters. Committee members and chairs are appointed by the Board on recommendation of the Chair.
Responsibilities
Each standing committee operates under a written charter that sets forth the purposes and responsibilities of the committee as well
as qualifications for committee membership. Each standing committee assesses the adequacy of its charter at least biennially and
recommends changes to the Board as appropriate. All committees report regularly to the full Board with respect to their activities.
