112、 directors may request that items be added to the Boards agenda or the agenda of any committee on which theyserveOur Board is currently divided into three classes.At the Board s recommendation,at the Company s 2021 Annual Meeting,the Company s stockholders approved and adopted the Declassification A
113、mendment.Accordingly,(i)the current Class Iand II directors will be elected at this Annual Meeting to serve for a term of one year and(ii)the current Class I,II and IIIdirectors will be elected at the 2024 Annual Meeting to serve for a term of one year,at which time all directors will be electedto s
114、erve for one year terms at all subsequent Annual Meetings.Director Independence DeterminationUnder our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE corporate governance rules for listed companies,a director is notindependent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have a di
115、rect or indirect material relationship with usor any of our subsidiaries.In addition,the director must meet the bright-line test for independence set forth by the NYSE rules.Our Corporate Governance Guidelines define independence in accordance with the independence definition in the current NYSErule
116、s.Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require the Board to review the independence of all directors at least annually.In theevent a director has a relationship with the Company that is relevant to his or her independence and is not addressed by the objectivetests set forth in the NYSE independence d
117、efinition,the Board will determine,considering all relevant facts and circumstances,whether such relationship is material.Our Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs.Cantie,Lance,Murphy,and Wunning and each of Mss.Cooney,Ellerbusch,Oates-Forney,and Wade is independent,under the guidel
118、ines for director independence set forth in the CorporateGovernance Guidelines and under all applicable NYSE rules,including with respect to applicable committee membership.Our Boardalso has determined that(i)each of the members of the Audit Committee,Messrs.Cantie and Murphy and Mss.Ellerbusch andW
119、ade,is“independent”for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3)of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,as amended(the“Exchange Act”),and“financially literate”as required by NYSE rules and(ii)each of Messrs.Cantie and Murphy qualify as a“financial expert”asdefined by SEC regulations.In making its independence an
120、d financial literacy determinations,the Board considered and reviewed all information known to it,including information identified through annual directors questionnaires.Board LeadershipThe Board directs and oversees the management of the business and affairs of the Company in a manner consistent w
121、ith the bestinterests of the Company.The Boards responsibility is one of oversight,and in performing its oversight role,the Board serves asthe ultimate decision-making body of the Company,except for those matters reserved to or shared with our stockholders.In accordance with the Companys belief that
122、 its long-term success includes being good stewards of the environment,the Boardoversees and supports the Companys initiatives in these areas.In addition,the Board takes pride in supporting the Companys effortsto offer a safe work environment to its employees and being a good corporate citizen in it
123、s local communities.In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines,the Board selects the Companys Chairman and the Companys ChiefExecutive Officer in any way it considers in the best interests of the Company and,accordingly,does not have a policy on whether theroles of Chairman and Chief Exe
124、cutive Officer should be separate or combined and,if separate,whether the Chairman should beselected from the independent directors.We believe that the separation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officerpositions is appropriate corporate governance for us as this time.Accordingly,Mr.
125、Lance serves as the Chairman of the Boardwhile Ms.Noonan serves as our Chief Executive Officer.Our Board believes that this structure best encourages the free and opendialogue of differing views and provides for strong checks and balances.Corporate Governance DocumentsOur investor relations website

299、 TSR peer group represents a broader array(typically near 65 to 70 companies)of industry peers competing forstockholders and investors.ROIC is determined for the performance period by dividing(i)the arithmetic mean of the following for each fiscal year during theperformance period:the Companys Adjus

311、 because 50%is based on Relative TSR.This generated an expense value approximately 115.5%higher than the actual value on the grant date for the awards issued on March 1,2022 to each of ourNEOs(other than Mr.Ghelani),and an expense value approximately 113.8%higher than the actual value on the grant d
312、ate for the awards issued on September 15,2022 to Mr.Ghelani.However,we do not believe the Monte Carlo accounting model is appropriate for purposes of setting total compensation opportunity.Second,to mitigate the potential impact of short-term stock price swings on our equity grants,we use the 20-da
313、y average closing stock price immediately preceding thegrant date to determine the grant size,rather than the closing stock price on the actual grant date as shown in the 2022 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.(2)Pursuant to Mr.Ghelanis offer letter,in addition to his annual equity grant equal to 12
