The independent directors will make a recommendation to the Board after reviewing the matter and the Board's decision to accept or reject the resignation offer will be disclosed to the public within 90 days of the applicable shareholder meeting. During the interim period, while waiting for the decision of the Board, the nominee may continue to fulfill his or her duties as a director. The nominee will not participate in any committee or Board deliberations on the resignation offer. The Policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested director elections.
