General
1.Please expand your discussion of the reasons you believe that your leadership structure is
appropriate, addressing your specific characteristics or circumstances. In your discussion,
please also address the circumstances under which it would be appropriate to have the
Chair and CEO roles filled by a single individual, when shareholders would be notified of
any such change, and whether you will seek prior input from shareholders.
2.Please expand upon the role that your Chairperson plays in the leadership of the board.
For example, please enhance your disclosure to address whether or not your Chairperson
may:

•represent the board in communications with shareholders and other stakeholders; or
•require board consideration of, and/or override your CEO on, any risk matters.
3.Please expand upon how your board administers its risk oversight function. For example,
please disclose:

long-term) and how you apply different oversight standards based upon the
immediacy of the risk assessed;
•whether you consult with outside advisors and experts to anticipate future threats and
trends, and how often you re-assess your risk environment;
•how the board interacts with management to address existing risks and identify
significant emerging risks;
•whether you have a Chief Compliance Officer and to whom this position reports; and
•how your risk oversight process aligns with your disclosure controls and procedures.
