Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions“Each year, our directors and executive officers complete questionnaires designed to elicit information about potential related person transactions. In addition, the directors and officers must promptly advise our Corporate Secretary if there are any changes to the information they previously provided. Our Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, Global Law Services & Regulatory Affairs, consults with management and outside counsel, as appropriate, to determine whether any transaction is reasonably likely to be a related person transaction. Transactions deemed reasonably likely to be related person transactions are submitted to the Corporate Governance Committee for pre-approval at its next meeting, unless action is required sooner. In such a case, the transaction would be submitted to the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee, whose determination would be reported to the full committee at its next meeting.”
