Director Independence

 

The NYSE American Stock Exchange requires that a majority of our Board of Directors be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s Board of Directors would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

 

Messrs. Gbola Amusa, Yaron Breski, Erez Chimovits, Dr. Russell Greig, Jonas Grossman, Lynne Sullivan and Dr. Robbie Woodman are our independent directors. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.  

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee, which is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, engages Company’s independent accountants, reviewing their independence and performance; reviews the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the integrity of its financial statements; the audits of the Company’s financial statements and the appointment, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors; the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has held three meetings during 2019.

 

The members of the Audit Committee are Lynne Sullivan, Gbola Amusa and Erez Chimovits, each of whom is an independent director under NYSE American Stock Exchange’s listing standards and satisfies the additional independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Lynne Sullivan is the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that Lynne Sullivan qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee reviews annually the Company’s corporate goals and objectives relevant to the officers’ compensation, evaluates the officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives, determines and approves the officers’ compensation level based on this evaluation; makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding approval, disapproval, modification, or termination of existing or proposed employee benefit plans, makes recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, and administers the Company’s incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Company may not be present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee with respect to his compensation. The Company’s executive officers do not play a role in suggesting their own salaries. Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee has engaged any compensation consultant who has a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive or director compensation.
