Generally, related party transactions that are proposed are submitted to the audit committee for its prior review and, if appropriate, approval. To the extent payments are made pursuant to an agreement with a related party previously approved by the audit committee, such as payments under the shared services agreement, such payments are reviewed by the audit committee on a quarterly basis and if appropriate, approved. If a transaction relates to a member of our audit committee, such member does not participate in the audit committee’s deliberations.

Ginsburg, Louis C. Grassi, Gary Hurand, Jeffrey Rubin, Jonathan H. Simon and Elie Weiss, constituting 60% of our directors, and (ii) the members of our audit, compensation and nominating committees, are independent. The Board based these determinations primarily on a review of the responses of our directors to questions regarding employment and compensation history, affiliations and family and other relationships, discussions with directors and relevant facts and circumstances provided to management of any relationships bearing on the independence of a director.

 

In evaluating the independence of Messrs. Ginsburg, Grassi and Hurand, the Board was aware that (i) these individuals or members of their families have passive investments in Gould Investors or in entities managed by affiliates of Gould Investors, (ii) the agreement entered into in 2019 between Gould Investors and an entity owned by members of Mr. Hurand’s family with respect to the interest that such family entity has in Gould Investors and (iii) the services provided, and to be provided, by the company of which Mr. Grassi is chief executive officer, to Gould Investors and an entity managed by an affiliate of Gould Investors.
