CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS“The Audit Committee reviews all material facts and circumstances of any proposed Related Party Transaction and either approves or disapproves the transaction. If the Chief Legal Officer of the Company determines that advance review and approval is not feasible, then the transaction may be preliminarily entered into upon approval of the Audit Committee Chair (or, if such Chair is not independent from the transaction, then Lead Independent Director instead of the Chair), after notice to both, provided that neither the Audit Committee Chair nor Lead Independent Director may approve a transaction involving himself or herself or an Immediate Family Member. When a Related Party Transaction is preliminarily approved in such manner, the transaction must be considered for ratification at the Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting. In either case, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors deemed appropriate, whether the transaction is fair to the Company and on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. The Board has also delegated to the Audit Committee Chair the authority to pre-approve or ratify related party transactions in which the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $1 million, subject to reporting any such pre-approval or ratification at the next Audit Committee meeting.”

Paragraphs are compared by their words, not read by AI: one counts as new when no paragraph last year shares half of its words, or when it names a person or company last year's section did not.
