He is also a member of the Board committee that oversees the Company’s stock repurchase plan. Mr. Clark will resign from such Board and committee positions immediately prior to assuming his duties as Chief Administrative Officer on December 4, 2023. Effective on and subject to Mr. Clark’s resignation from the Board, the size of the Board will be reduced from eight to seven directors.
