The Chair shall be appointed by the Board. The Board may at any time and in its complete discretion remove any member of the Committee and may fill any vacancy in the Committee.

Members of the Committee shall receive such fees, if any, for their service as Committee members as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Members of the Committee may not receive any compensation from the Company except the fees that they receive for service as a member of the Board or any committee thereof.

Responsibilities

The members of the Committee shall exercise their business judgment to act in what they reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In discharging its appointment from the Board, the Committee will:

  1. Annually review and make a recommendation to the full Board regarding the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”)’s goals and objectives.
  2. Annually make a recommendation to the full Board regarding the CEO’s compensation, taking into consideration the CEO’s performance against existing goals and objectives. The CEO and any other directors who are not independent, if any, may not be present during any voting or deliberations on the CEO’s compensation.
  3. In determining the recommended long-term incentive component of the CEO’s compensation, consider objective criteria, including but not limited to the Company’s performance and relative shareholder return, the value of incentive awards made to CEOs at comparable companies, and the awards given to the CEO in past years.
  4. Annually review and approve, in consultation with the CEO, the compensation of the Company’s other executive officers (i.e., those officers required to file reports pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than the CEO) of the Company, including their incentive compensation plans and equity-based compensation plans.
  5. Periodically review the Company’s compensation policies and programs for all employees, and consider whether the policies and programs are philosophically aligned with the executive officers’ compensation policies and programs.
  6. Periodically determine and oversee the share ownership guidelines applicable to senior executives of the Company and the Board.
  7. At least annually, oversee management’s periodic review and assessment of any risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and programs (i.e., whether compensation of the Company’s employees encourages unnecessary or excessive risk-taking, and whether such risks, if any, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company) and evaluate compensation policies and practices that could mitigate any risks that are present.
  8. Periodically review and evaluate the competitiveness and appropriateness of the Company’s change of control, severance, retirement, deferred compensation programs, senior leadership benefits and perquisites.
  9. Periodically review and approve the creation or revision of any clawback policy allowing the Company to recoup compensation paid to employees.

  12. Periodically review the impact of tax and accounting rule changes.
  13. Annually review and discuss with senior management the Compensation Discussion & Analysis to be included in the Company’s proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K as required by the SEC, and based on such review and discussion, determine whether or not to recommend that the Compensation Discussion & Analysis be included in the report.
  14. Assist the Board in its oversight of human capital management, including corporate culture, diversity and inclusion, recruiting, retention, attrition and talent management.
  15. Oversee the Company’s compliance with SEC rules and regulations regarding shareholder approval of certain executive compensation matters, including advisory votes on executive compensation and the frequency of such votes, and the shareholder approval of equity compensation plans to the extent required under applicable NYSE rules.

The Committee will annually review its own performance.

The Company will provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to any Advisor(s) retained by the Committee.

The Committee may select or receive advice from any Advisor that it prefers, including Advisors that are not independent; provided, however, that prior to selecting or receiving advice from any Advisor (other than in-house legal counsel), and at least annually thereafter, the Committee shall take into consideration the following factors (as well as any other factors that may be required from time to time under the rules of the NYSE or the SEC):
