Committee chair retainers: Audit Chair $2,000/quarter; Compensation Chair $1,000/quarter; Nominating & Governance Chair $1,000/quarter.

Why It Matters
- For investors, the appointment of three independent directors and formal committee charters signals a move to strengthen corporate governance and regulatory compliance (relevant for Nasdaq and SEC standards).
- The stock-based compensation (annual $100,000 restricted stock grants per director) may result in future equity issuance and dilution if and when shares are issued or options are granted.
- New independent oversight (audit and compensation chairs specified) could affect financial oversight, executive pay policies, and governance practices—factors investors use to evaluate management quality and risk controls.
