● | Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has, among the others, the following authority and responsibilities: | |
● | To determine and recommend to the Board, the criteria to be considered in selecting nominees for the director; | |
● | To identify and screen candidate consistent with such criteria and consider any candidates recommended by our stockholders pursuant to the procedures described in our proxy statement or in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and provisions of our charter documents. | |
● | To select and approve the nominees for director to be submitted to a stockholder vote at the annual meeting of stockholders. |
● |
The compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser.
|
|
● |
The compensation committee shall be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any compensation consultant, legal counsel and other adviser retained by the compensation committee or said group.
|
|
● |
The Company must provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the compensation committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to a compensation consultant, legal counsel or any other adviser retained by the compensation committee or said group.
|
|
● |
The compensation committee select, or receive advice from, a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to the compensation committee or said group, other than in-house legal counsel, only after conducting an independence assessment with respect to the adviser as provided for in the Act.
|
● |
This structure creates efficiency in the preparation of the meeting agendas and related Board materials as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer works directly with those individuals preparing the necessary Board materials and is more connected to the overall daily operations of the Company. Agendas are also prepared with the permitted input of the full Board of Directors allowing for any concerns or risks of any individual director to be discussed as deemed appropriate. The Board believes that the Company has benefited from this structure, and Mr. Collin’s continuation in the combined role of the Acting Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the stockholders.
|
|
● |
The Company believes that the combined structure is necessary and allows for efficient and effective oversight, given the Company’s relatively small size, its corporate strategy and focus.
|
● |
Forward the communication to the Director or Directors to whom it is addressed;
|
|
● |
Attempt to handle the inquiry directly, for example where it is a request for information about OHGI or it is a stock-related matter; or
|
|
● | Not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic. |
