From 1989-2019, Mr. Halliday worked for EY (formerly Ernst & Young) in senior and board-level positions, including Chairman of EY's United Kingdom and Japan firms, and Director of EY Global, Americas, EMEIA and Japan boards, where he led multibillion-dollar P&L operations and thousands of employees, while directing and navigating strategic growth. He also assisted in the development of the Audit Firm Governance Code in both the UK and Japan, working closely with the UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA).
Mr. Halliday will receive the same indemnification and compensation as the Company's other non-employee directors. For a full description of the compensation program for the Company's non-employee directors and the Company's indemnification agreements, please see the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 7, 2024.
