Audit and Conflicts Committee

The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a Charter adopted by our Board that is available on our website at Investor Relations - Corporate Governance - Audit and Conflicts Committee Charter. The Audit Committee reviews, considers, negotiates and approves or disapproves related party transactions (see the discussion in the section entitled "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions" below). In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and discussing with management our Company's financial statements, earnings press releases and all internal controls reports, (ii) appointing, compensating and overseeing the work performed by our Company's independent auditors, and (iii) reviewing with the independent auditors the findings of their audits.

Our Board has determined that the Audit Committee is composed entirely of Independent Directors (as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act), and that Mr. Douglas McEachern, the Chair of our Audit Committee, is qualified as an Audit Committee Financial Expert. Our Audit Committee is currently composed of Directors Douglas McEachern, who serves as Chair, Guy W. Adams and Dr. Judy Codding. The Audit Committee held four (4) meetings during 2024. All members attended at least 75% of such meetings.

Compensation and Stock Options Committee

The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a Charter adopted by our Board that is available on our website at Investor Relations - Corporate Governance - Compensation and Stock Options Committee Charter. As a “controlled company”, we are exempt from the Nasdaq Listing Rules requiring the determination of executive compensation solely by independent directors. Notwithstanding such exemption, our Board has established a standing Compensation Committee consisting of three (3) of our Independent Directors (as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 10C-1(b)(1) of the Exchange Act), and is currently composed of Directors Dr. Judy Codding, who serves as Chair, Guy W. Adams and Mr. Douglas McEachern. For more information on our Compensation Committee, see Item 11 – Executive Compensation – Compensation Overview below.

Item 11 Executive Compensation

Compensation Overview

Role and Authority of the Compensation Committee

Background

As a “controlled company,” we are exempt from the requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules requiring the determination of executive compensation solely by independent directors. Notwithstanding such exemption, we have established a standing Compensation Committee consisting of three (3) of our Independent Directors. Our Compensation Committee Charter requires our Compensation Committee members to meet the independence rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).

Our Executive Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation philosophy is to: (1) attract and retain talented and dedicated management team members; (2) provide overall compensation as competitive in our industry; (3) correlate annual cash bonuses to the achievement of our business and financial objectives; and (4) provide management team members with appropriate long-term incentives aligned with stockholder value. While we believe that our entire executive compensation package contributes to these goals, the base salaries we offer generally support goals 1 and 2 above, our short-term incentive (“STI”) bonuses generally support goals 1, 2 and 3 above, our long-term incentives (“LTI”) have historically generally supported goals 1, 2 and 4 above. In 2024, our Compensation Committee did not grant LTI awards.

Compensation Committee Charter

Our Compensation Committee Charter delegates significant executive compensation responsibilities to our Compensation Committee, including:

to establish our compensation philosophy and objectives;

to review and approve all compensation for our CEO and our executive officers1;

to approve all employment agreements, severance arrangements, change in control provisions and agreements and any special or supplemental benefits applicable to our CEO and other executive officers;

to approve and adopt, on behalf of our Board, incentive compensation and equity-based compensation plans, or, in the case of plans requiring stockholder approval, to review and recommend such plan to the stockholders;

to review the disclosures made in the Compensation Overview and advise our Board whether the Compensation Overview is satisfactory for inclusion in our annual report on Form 10-K and proxy statement;

to prepare an annual compensation committee report for inclusion in our proxy statement for the annual meeting of stockholders;

to administer our equity-based compensation plans, including the grant of stock options and other equity awards under such plans; and

to consider the results of the most recent stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation when determining compensation policies and making decisions on executive compensation.

Under our Compensation Committee Charter, any compensation determinations pertaining to Ellen M. Cotter and Margaret Cotter are subject to review and approval by our Board, excluding, in each case, the votes of Ellen M. Cotter or Margaret Cotter. Further, our Compensation Committee periodically reviews and makes recommendations to our Board regarding Director compensation.

 

______________________

1Under our Compensation Committee Charter, “executive officer” is defined to mean the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, general counsel, principal accounting officer, any executive vice president of the Company and any managing director of Reading Entertainment Australia, Pty Ltd and/or Reading New Zealand, Ltd.

Compensation Setting Process

Considering the Company’s 2024 liquidity condition, the continuing headwinds faced by our global cinema business and our efforts to manage and utilize our real estate business for cash flow and liquidity sources, our Compensation Committee continued to execute NEO compensation decisions in a conservative and prudent manner.

Our Compensation Committee considered the prudent use of base salaries, STI bonuses and LTI equity grants. In its analysis, our Compensation Committee relied on, among other things, input from our Chief Executive Officer, review of Company financial data, review of historical NEO compensation data, and compensation peer data from earlier years provided by compensation consultants.

For 2024, our Compensation Committee (i) maintained, without base salary increases, existing annual base salaries through 2024 for our NEOs and (ii) does not anticipate issuing cash bonuses under our STI program once evaluation of performance is completed, but, instead intends to use stock options (valued according to the Black Scholes method) to purchase Class A Non-Voting Common Stock in lieu of cash; The terms of any new stock options, including vesting periods, have not been determined. For 2024, our Compensation Committee did not issue new LTI awards.

As it does annually, in early 2024, our Compensation Committee approved objective performance goals for each NEO based on target Company performance and individual NEO performance goals. In 2025, our Compensation Committee evaluated the target Company and individual NEO performance goals against 2024 results. Our Compensation Committee determined that certain objective corporate performance criteria had been met and, as a result, the portion of outstanding PRSUs issued to NEOs prior to 2024 that were based on 2024 performance were determined to have been vested.

Our Compensation Committee has not completed evaluation of the individual performance of the NEOs for 2024, but we expect our Compensation Committee to complete such evaluation during the second quarter of 2025. However, in light of our Company’s liquidity condition, our Compensation Committee does not anticipate that cash bonuses for 2024 performance will be paid, but will, again, consider issuing stock options for Class A Non-Voting Common Stock as compensation for 2024 performance. The terms of any stock options, including vesting periods, have not been determined.

Our Compensation Committee expects that it will continue to evaluate both executive performance and compensation to maintain our ability to attract and retain highly qualified executives in key positions and to assure that compensation provided to executives remains competitive when compared to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of companies with whom we compete for executive talent or that we consider comparable to our Company.

Executive Officer Clawback Policy

On November 29, 2023, our Board adopted an Executive Officer Clawback Policy, in compliance with Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules (the “2023 Clawback Policy”).

Any STI cash payment made to our NEOs is subject to forfeiture, recovery by our Company or other action pursuant to any agreement evidencing any incentive compensation or any clawback or recoupment policy which our Company may adopt from time to time, including, without limitation, our 2023 Clawback Policy or any other such policy which our Company may be required to adopt under the listing rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any successor or replacement law, and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law.

11


Under our 2020 Stock Plan, described in greater detail under the caption 2020 Stock Incentive Plan below, all LTIs or shares issued in respect thereof and cash or other proceeds in respect thereof issued to our NEOs are subject to clawback, reduction, cancelation, forfeiture and recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or the listing rules of Nasdaq or other principal stock exchange on which our Common Stock is then listed. In accepting an award under our 2020 Stock Plan, a participant agrees to be bound by any such clawback. Our 2023 Clawback Policy implements the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules in this regard.

Anti-Put/Call/Short Sale Policy

Our NEOs may not trade in puts or calls or engage in short sales with respect to our Company’s securities.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our NEOs may not engage in certain hedging transactions with respect to our Company’s securities, such as zero-cost collars, equity swaps, prepaid variable forward contracts and exchange funds.

2020 Stock Incentive Plan

On November 4, 2020, our Board adopted the Reading International, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan (as amended the “2020 Stock Plan”) and recommended to our stockholders the adoption of that plan. The 2020 Stock Plan was adopted by our stockholders on December 8, 2020. Our Board adopted and recommended the 2020 Stock Plan to provide a means by which employees, directors and consultants of Reading and affiliates may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of our Common Stock, to assist in attracting and retaining the services of such persons, to bind the interests of eligible recipients more closely to our own interests by offering them opportunities to acquire Common Stock and to afford such persons stock-based compensation opportunities that are competitive with those afforded by similar businesses. All of our employees, directors and consultants are eligible to participate in the 2020 Stock Plan. On October 26, 2023, our Board adopted the First Amendment to the 2020 Stock Plan (the “First Amendment”) to increase the number of shares available for issuance under our 2020 Stock Plan by an additional 971,807 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock and recommended to our stockholders the adoption of that amendment. The First Amendment was adopted by our stockholders on December 7, 2023. On October 18, 2024, our Board adopted the Second Amendment to the 2020 Stock Plan (the “Second Amendment” and together with the First Amendment, the “Plan Amendments”) to increase the number of shares available for issuance under our 2020 Stock Plan by an additional 3,500,000 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock and recommended to our stockholders the adoption of that amendment. The Second Amendment was adopted by our stockholders on December 5, 2024. As of April 18, 2025, there were 3,280,200 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock and 200,000 shares of Class B Voting Common Stock available for issuance under our 2020 Stock Plan.

Our Board delegated administration of the 2020 Stock Plan to our Compensation Committee and has delegated to our Chairperson the authority to grant awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and are not “covered employees” as defined in the 2020 Stock Plan. With such delegated authority, our Compensation Committee has the power to construe and interpret the 2020 Stock Plan and to determine the persons to whom and the dates on which awards will be granted, what types or combinations of types of awards will be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to each award, the time or times during the term of each award within which all or a portion of such award may be exercised, the exercise price or purchase price of each award, the types of consideration permitted to exercise or purchase each award and other terms of the awards.

In the event of a “Corporate Transaction” (as defined in the 2020 Stock Plan), any surviving or acquiring corporation may assume awards outstanding under the 2020 Stock Plan or may substitute similar awards. Unless the stock award agreement provides otherwise, in the event any surviving or acquiring corporation does not assume such awards or substitute similar awards, then the awards will terminate if not exercised at or prior to such event. The 2020 Stock Plan provides that, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of our Company, all outstanding awards under the 2020 Stock Plan will terminate prior to such event and shares of bonus stock and restricted stock subject to our Company’s repurchase option or to forfeiture may be repurchased by our Company or forfeited, notwithstanding whether the holder of such stock is still providing services to our Company.

All stock awards issued under the 2020 Stock Plan are subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture and recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules. An acceptance of a stock award under the 2020 Stock Plan is an agreement by the participant to be bound by any such laws or rules. On November 29, 2023, our Board adopted our 2023 Clawback Policy in compliance with applicable Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules.

For a copy of the 2020 Stock Plan, see our “SEC Schedule 14A, Proxy Statement,” filed with the SEC on November 6, 2020. For a more detailed summary of our 2020 Stock Plan, as amended by the Second Amendment, see our “SEC Schedule 14A, Proxy Statement,” filed with the SEC on October 25, 2024

Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

The following paragraphs provide information regarding potential payments to each of our NEOs in connection with certain termination events, including a termination related to a change of control of our Company, as of December 31, 2024:

Certain Retirement Benefits. On August 29, 2017, our Compensation Committee approved a one-time retirement benefit for Craig Tompkins, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, incident to his retention as our General Counsel. The retirement benefit is a single year benefit in an amount equal to the average of the two highest total cash compensation (base salary plus cash bonus2) years paid to Mr. Tompkins in the then most recently completed five-year period, less the amount of $197,060, accrued to Mr. Tompkins under a separate vested benefit program established by one of the two companies acquired by our Company as a part of the consolidation transaction in 2000.

Option and RSU and PRSU Grants. All long-term incentive awards are subject to other terms and conditions set forth in our 2020 Stock Plan and award grants. In addition, individual grants include certain accelerated vesting provisions. In the case of employees, the accelerated vesting will be triggered upon (i) the award recipient’s death or disability, (ii) certain corporate transactions in which the awards are not replaced with substantially equivalent awards, or (iii) upon termination without cause or for “good reason” within twenty-four months of a change of control, or a corporate transaction where equivalent awards have not been substituted. RSUs issued to our non-employee Directors provide for acceleration immediately upon a change of control.

Except as described above, no other NEOs currently have employment agreements or other arrangements providing benefits upon termination or a change of control. The table below shows the maximum benefits that would be payable to each person listed above in the event of such person’s termination without cause or termination in connection with a change in control, if such events occurred on December 31, 2024, assuming the transaction took place on December 31, 2024, at a price equal to the closing price of the Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, which was $1.32.

Outside Director Compensation

Our Board requested our Compensation Committee to evaluate our Company's compensation policy for outside directors and to establish a plan that encompasses sound corporate practices consistent with the best interests of our Company. Our Compensation Committee periodically reviews, evaluates, revises and recommends the adoption of new compensation arrangements for executive and management officers and outside directors of our Company. In past years, the Compensation Committee retained independent compensation consulting firms for this information.

After input was received, reviewed, discussed and considered by our Compensation Committee in 2020, and taking into account, among other things, our efforts to reduce cash expenses and consolidation of workloads in light of the reduction in our Board from seven to five directors, our Compensation Committee recommended and our Board authorized that the

following annual compensation for our non-employee directors for 2024:

The Board Base Director fee was $50,000.

The Committee Chair retainers were $20,000 for our Audit Committee and $22,500 for our Compensation Committee.

The committee member fees were $10,000 for our Audit Committee and $7,500 Compensation Committee and a per meeting fee for our Executive Committee.

The Lead Independent Director fee was $5,000.

The Lead Technology and Cyber Risk Director fee was $15,000.

Our Compensation Committee periodically reevaluates Board compensation and final action is taken on such compensation is taken by the full Board.

We generally grant annual equity awards during the first or second quarter of each fiscal year for compensation earned in the immediately preceding fiscal year, although timing may change from year to year.    The Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity-based awards, and we have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.  During 2024, we did not grant any equity awards to any of our NEOs within four business days prior to or one business day after making any filing on Forms 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K.

Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The members of our Audit Committee are Directors Douglas McEachern, who serves as Chairperson, Guy Adams and Dr. Judy Codding. Management presents all potential related party transactions to the Audit Committee for review. Our Audit Committee reviews whether a given related party transaction is beneficial to our Company and approves or bars the transaction after a thorough analysis. Only committee members disinterested in the transaction in question participate in the determination of whether the transaction may proceed.

Sutton Hill Capital

In 2001, we entered into a transaction with Sutton Hill Capital, LLC ("SHC") regarding the master leasing, with certain options to purchase the underlying ground lease interests, of four cinemas located in Manhattan including our current Village East and Cinemas 1, 2, 3 theatres.

Over the years, we sold our interests in two of the cinemas subject to that master lease to third parties and acquired the fee interest in the land underlying and the improvements constituting the Cinemas 1, 2, 3. Accordingly, the Village East is the only cinema that remains subject to the master lease. As the land underlying the Village East is owned by a third party, our relationship with SHC under the master lease is that of a subtenant. Our rent paid to SHC for that cinema has been fixed at $590,000 for each of the past three years. In light of the challenges to the motion picture exhibition industry, SHC has permitted us to defer a portion of the rent on our Village East cinema master lease since October 2023. In 2024 we deferred $590,000 into the current year. As of December 31, 2024, we have accrued $737,500 in rent with respect to the Village East cinema.

Our master lease of the Village East has been extended from time to time and now terminates on September 1, 2027. On August 28, 2019, we exercised our option under the master lease to acquire SHC’s interest in the ground lease underlying that master lease for $5.9 million. That option was originally scheduled to close on May 31, 2021, but has been extended from time to time, and is now scheduled to close on April 30, 2025. We recorded the Village East Cinema building as a property asset of $4.7 million on our balance sheet based on the cost carry-over basis from an entity under common control with a corresponding capital lease liability of $5.9 million presented under other liabilities.

In 2005, we acquired (i) from a third party, the fee interest in the land underlying the Cinemas 1, 2, 3 and (ii) from SHC, its interest in the ground lease estate underlying and the improvements constituting the Cinemas 1, 2, 3 and granted to SHC an option to acquire at our cost a 25% interest in the special purpose entity, Sutton Hill Properties, LLC ("SHP"), formed to acquire these fee, leasehold and improvements interests. On June 28, 2007, SHC exercised this option. Since the acquisition by SHC of its 25% interest, SHP has covered its operating costs and debt service through (i) cash flow from the Cinemas  1,  2,  3, (ii) borrowings from third parties, (iii) pro-rata contributions from the members, and (iv) working capital loans from the Company and SHC. We manage the Cinemas 1, 2, 3, pursuant to a management agreement.

On August 31, 2016, we secured a three-year, $20.0 million mortgage loan with Valley National Bank which debt has been extended from time to time and has varied in amount. As of March 31, 2025, the principal amount of this loan was $20,592,511, all due any payable on October 1, 2025 (based on the second six-month option we exercised on
February 26, 2025). The Valley National Loan has been guaranteed by our Company and an environmental indemnity has been provided by our Company. SHC has agreed to indemnify our Company to the extent of 25% of any loss incurred by our Company with respect to any such guarantee and/or indemnity (a percentage reflecting SHC's membership interest in SHP).

Since the cash flow from the Cinemas 1,2,3 has not been sufficient to service the Valley National Loan, the members of SHP (our Company and SHC) have from time to time made contributions to the capital of SHP in order to avoid dilution of their respective interests in SHP. No capital contributions were called or made in 2022 or 2023.

In 2022, we extended a working capital loan to SHP, the balance of which was $6.9 million at December 31, 2024 (the responsibility for which follows the 75% / 25% ownership structure between the Reading partner and SHC or

21


$5.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively). The interest rate is determined by reference to the interest we are paying on our Bank of America facility. The loan has been approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

In 2024, SHC made a working capital loan of $500,000 to fund a deposit required under the terms of the Valley National Bank amendment.

Live Theatre Play Investment

From time to time, our officers and Directors may invest in plays that license our live theatres. The play STOMP, played in our Orpheum Theatre since prior to the time we acquired the theatre in 2001, until its final show on January 8, 2023. The Cotter Estate and a third party together own an approximately 5% interest in that play, an interest that they have held since prior to our acquisition of the theatre.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

Our Audit Committee has adopted a written charter, which includes responsibility for approval of "Related Party Transactions." Under its charter, our Audit Committee performs the functions of the "Conflicts Committee" of our Board and is delegated responsibility and authority by our Board to review, consider and negotiate, and to approve or disapprove on behalf of our Company the terms and conditions of any and all Related Party Transactions (defined below) with the same effect as though such actions had been taken by our full Board. Any such matter requires no further action by our Board in order to be binding upon our Company, except in the case of matters that, under applicable Nevada law, cannot be delegated to a committee of our Board and must be determined by our full Board. In those cases where the authority of our Board cannot be delegated, the Audit Committee nevertheless provides its recommendation to our full Board.

As used in our Audit Committee's Charter, the term "Related Party Transaction" means any transaction or arrangement between our Company on one hand, and on the other hand (i) any one or more directors, executive officers or stockholders holding more than 5% of the voting power of our Company (or any spouse, parent, sibling or heir of any such individual), or (ii) any one or more entities under common control with any one of such persons, or (iii) any entity in which one or more such persons holds more than a 10% interest. Related Party Transactions do not include matters related to employment or employee compensation-related issues.

The charter provides that our Audit Committee review transactions subject to the policy and determines whether or not to approve or ratify those transactions. In doing so, our Audit Committee considers, among other factors, it deems appropriate:

the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction and whether the transaction is material to us;

whether the terms are fair to us, have resulted from arm's length negotiations and are on terms at least as favorable as would apply if the transaction did not involve a related person;

the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the transaction;

whether the transaction was undertaken in our ordinary course of business;

the related person's interest in the transaction, including the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person's interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;

required public disclosure, if any; and

any other information regarding the transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

Director Independence and Board Oversight Structure

Our Company has elected to take advantage of the “controlled company” exemption under applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Listing Rules”). Accordingly, our Company is exempted from the requirement to have a board of directors composed of at least a majority of independent directors, as that term is defined in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and SEC Rules (“Independent Directors”) and to have an independent nominating committee and

22


independent Compensation Committee. Nevertheless, our Board has for many years had a majority of Independent Directors and expects to nominate a majority of Independent Directors for election to our Board this year. In determining who is an Independent Director, we follow the definition in section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Under such rules, we consider the following directors to be independent: Guy Adams, Dr. Judy Codding and Douglas McEachern. Our Board annually reviews the independence of our directors.

We currently have an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee, each composed entirely of Independent Directors. Historically, our Lead Independent Director chairs meetings of the Independent Directors (typically held as a separate part of board meetings) and acts as liaison between our Chair, Vice-Chair and our Independent Directors.

We also currently have a four-member Executive Committee composed of our Chair, Vice-Chair, our Lead Technology and Cyber Risk Director (Guy W. Adams) and Dr. Judy Codding. As a consequence of this structure, the concurrence of at least one non-management member of the Executive Committee is required in order for the Executive Committee to take action.

Our Board has adopted (and updated as appropriate) the following: (i) a charter for our Compensation Committee, (ii) a charter for our Audit Committee, (iii) a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, (iv) a Supplemental Insider Trading Policy restricting trading in our stock by our Directors and executive officers, (v) an Anti-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment and Anti-Bullying policy, (vi) a Whistleblower Policy, and (vii) a Stock Ownership Policy, setting out minimum stock ownership levels for our directors and senior executives. Under our Amended and Restated Supplemental Insider Trading Policy, our directors and executive officers are restricted from engaging in certain forms of hedging transactions, such as zero-cost collars, equity swaps, prepaid variable forward contracts and exchange funds.

In recognition of the special risks involved with technology and cyber security, Director Adams serves as our Lead Technology and Cyber Risk Director and Board’s liaison with our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Information Officer and General Counsel in connection with the assessment of our Company’s technology and cyber security needs and the implementation of appropriate policies and procedures to meet those needs. He ensures that relevant information is brought to our Board, and coordinates the timely presentation of such information to, and facilitates the consideration of such information by, all directors. He also coordinates with our management timely and appropriate director education with respect to such matters to enhance director understanding of the issues involved and the options available to our Company. In preparation for this role, Director Adams, in 2018, completed the Cyber-Risk Oversight course presented by the National Association of Corporate Directors.

We believe that our Directors bring a broad range of leadership experience to our Company and regularly contribute to the thoughtful discussion involved in effectively overseeing the business and affairs of our Company. We believe that all Board members are well-engaged in their responsibilities and that all Board members express their views and consider the opinions expressed by other Directors. Our Independent Directors are involved in the leadership structure of our Board by serving on our Executive Committee, our Audit Committee and our Compensation Committee, each of which has a separate independent Chair. Nominations to our Board for the Annual Meeting will be made by our entire Board.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Non-audit services are considered de minimis if (i) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services constitutes less than 5% of the total amount of revenues we paid to our independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which they are provided; (ii) we did not recognize such services at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly submitted to our Audit Committee for approval prior to the completion of the audit by our Audit Committee or any of its members who has authority to give such approval.
