the qualifications of candidates in light of these needs.
Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating
Committee through shareholders, management, current
members of the Board of Directors or search firms. The
evaluation of these candidates may be based solely
upon information provided to the Committee or may
also include discussions with persons familiar with the
candidate, an interview of the candidate or other actions
the Committee deems appropriate, including the use of
paid third parties to review candidates.
Terms of Office of Directors
Each director is elected individually by a separate vote
of shareholders. Until 2012, each director was elected
for a term of three years. At the Company’s 2012 Annual
General Meeting, shareholders approved a change such
that each director, starting with the directors elected at the
2012 Annual General Meeting, will be subject to a term of
one year. Eight of our ten directors are being presented for
re-election to the Board of Directors at the 2015 Annual
General Meeting, with two directors deciding to retire
and not stand for re-election. Each director is eligible for
re-election until his or her seventieth birthday. Directors
may not seek reelection after they have reached 70 years
of age, unless the Board of Directors adopts a resolution
to the contrary. A member of the Board who reaches
70 years of age during the term of his or her directorship
may remain a director until the expiration of the term.
A director’s term of office as Chairman coincides with
his or her term of office as a director. A director may be
indefinitely re-elected as Chairman, subject to the age
limit mentioned above.
The year of appointment and remaining term of office as
of March 31, 2015 for each director are as follows:
