On January 31, 2019, after careful consideration of certain corporate governance trends and such other matters as the Board deemed
relevant and upon the recommendation of the Committee, the Board approved certain amendments to the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines (as amended and restated, the "Amended and Restated Guidelines") to (i) implement a
rotation policy that imposes a term limit of seven (7) years on each of the chairpersons of the standing committees of the Board (the "Committee Chairpersons") subject to the Board's discretion to permit service for longer than
