Our Board believes its current leadership structure best serves the objectives of our Board’s oversight of management, our Board’s ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of our shareholders, and our overall corporate governance. Our Board and each of its committees are currently led by independent directors, with our President and Chief Executive Officer separately serving as a member of our Board. Our Board believes that participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer as a director, while keeping the roles of President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board separate, provides the proper balance between independence and management participation at this time. By having a separate Chairperson of the Board, we maintain an independent perspective on our business affairs, and at the same time, through the President and Chief Executive Officer’s participation as a director, our Board maintains a strong link between management and our Board. We believe this leadership structure promotes clear communication, enhances strategic planning, and improves implementation of corporate strategies. Our current leadership structure is:

WHAT WE HEARD
|
| | |
HOW WE RESPONDED
|
| ||||||
|
|
| | Compensation for our executives should be heavily weighted towards performance | | | |

|
|
| | The performance period for equity awards should be increased | | | |
|
| | Increased the Adjusted ROIC performance period for 2019 equity awards from one year to two years | |
|
|
| | Disclosures regarding the compensation program should be improved | | | |
|
| | Proxy Statement has been revised to better communicate our compensation practices | |
|
|
| | We should continue providing annual performance-based equity grants instead of front-loaded equity grants | | | |
|
| | We continued providing annual performance-based equity grants in both 2018 and 2019 | |
|
|
| | Compensation Committee should continue to evaluate metrics for short and long-term incentives | | | |
|
| | Our Compensation Committee will consider alternate metrics going forward, and is committed to choosing metrics that we believe will drive long-term growth | |
