As such, non-employee directors may not stand for re-election following the date of the director’s 72nd birthday, 5 although the Board may waive this limitation if it determines such waiver to be in the best interests of the Company.
The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, may consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate, including, without limitation, the reasons (if any) given by shareholders as to why they withheld their votes, the qualifications of the tendering director and his or her contributions to the Board and the Company, and the results of the most recent evaluation of the tendering director’s performance by the other members of the Board.
The Board will have the exclusive power and authority to administer this policy, including, without limitation, the right and power to interpret the provisions of this policy and to make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this policy, including, without limitation, any determination as to whether any election of directors is contested.
