Management Commentary and Governance Changes
Following the retirement of Peter Altabef, the Board appointed Nathaniel A. Davis as the new Chair of the Board. Mr. Davis previously served as the Lead Independent Director since 2018. Consequently, the Board will no longer maintain a separate Lead Independent Director role.
