Independence Determination and Reaffirmation

On February 25, 2020, the Board confirmed and ratified its independence analysis for each of its current members other than John Lovoi and Michael Raleigh, considering all relevant facts and circumstances, including the director’s other commercial, accounting, legal, banking, consulting, charitable and familial relationships.  Pursuant to its review, the Board determined that with respect to each of its current members other than John Lovoi and Michael Raleigh, there are no disqualifying factors with respect to director independence enumerated in the listing standards of NASDAQ or any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that each such member is an “independent director” as defined in the listing standards of NASDAQ.

 Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Matthew Dougherty (chairman), Tracy Stephens and Ryan Roebuck, all of whom are independent directors as defined in the listing standards of NASDAQ.
