Amendment No. 3 to Form S-1
Table of Contents
Following this offering, we intend to utilize these exemptions. As a result, we will not have a majority of independent directors nor
will our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, you
will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance
requirements.
In the event that we cease to be a controlled company within the meaning of these rules, we will be required to comply with these
provisions after specified transition periods.
More specifically, if we cease to be a controlled company within the meaning of these rules, we will be required to (i) satisfy the
majority independent board requirement within one year of our status change, and (ii) have (a) at least one independent member on
each of our nominating and corporate governance committee and compensation committee by the date of our status change, (b) at least
a majority of independent members on each committee within 90 days of the date of our status change and (c) fully independent
committees within one year of the date of our status change.
Board Leadership Structure
Our board of directors does not have a formal policy on whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of
directors should be separate. However, Robert G. Miller currently serves as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. Our board of
directors has considered its leadership structure and believes at this time that our company and its stockholders are best served by
having one person serve in both positions. Combining the roles fosters accountability, effective decision-making and alignment between
interests of our board of directors and management. Mr. Miller also is able to use the in-depth focus and perspective gained in his
executive function to assist our board of directors in addressing both internal and external issues affecting the company.
Our corporate governance guidelines provide for the election of one of our non-management directors to serve as Lead Director
when the Chairman of the board of directors is also the Chief Executive Officer. Lenard B. Tessler currently serves as our Lead Director.
and is responsible for serving as a liaison between the Chairman and the non-management directors, approving meeting agendas and
schedules for our board and presiding at executive sessions of the non-management directors and any other board meetings at which
the Chairman is not present, among other responsibilities.
Our board of directors expects to periodically review its leadership structure to ensure that it continues to meet the company's
needs.
Role of Board in Risk Oversight
While the full board of directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, its committees oversee
risk in certain specified areas. In particular, our audit and risk committee oversees management of enterprise risks as well as financial
risks. Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans
and arrangements and the incentives created by the compensation awards it administers. Our compliance committee is responsible for
overseeing the management of compliance and regulatory risks facing our company and risks associated with business conduct and
ethics. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees risks associated with corporate governance. Pursuant to our
board of directors' instruction, management regularly reports on applicable risks to the relevant committee or the full board of directors,
as appropriate, with additional review or reporting on risks conducted as needed or as requested by our board of directors and its
committees.
