Why It Matters

• Board changes affect company governance and oversight. Adding two directors with senior utility and environmental services leadership and financial experience (former CEOs and CFOs) may strengthen the Board’s expertise in finance, operations and regulated services.
• The disclosed compensation and committee roles are material to shareholders because they show the company’s governance priorities, incentive structure for non‑employee directors, and potential impact on governance costs.
