The Board periodically reviews whether it has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, and experience suitable for the Company in its early growth stage.

As the Company continues to grow, it will review the merits of establishing a formal Nomination Committee. Until then the Board carries out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to the Nomination Committee under the written terms of reference for the committee.
