Governance Assessment

Strengths
- Independent director with consumer marketing and partnership expertise; service on both Audit and Compensation Committees supports oversight depth.
- Attendance threshold met; committees and Board met quarterly.
- Director pay structure is straightforward (cash retainer + time‑based RSUs); equity component fosters alignment; program reviewed by independent consultant (Mercer).
- Related‑party transaction controls via a written policy overseen by the Audit Committee.
Watch items / potential risks
- Controlled company risk: Concentrated voting control and Stockholders Agreement director designation rights may influence Board composition and investor protections if exemptions are utilized in the future.
- Combined CEO/Chair structure, mitigated by a Lead Independent Director; continue to monitor independent director influence and executive sessions.
- Director equity is time‑based (no performance conditions) which is market‑standard for directors but provides limited pay‑for‑performance leverage.
RED FLAGS (none specific to Perlman disclosed)
- No director‑specific related‑party transactions, pledging, or Section 16 issues disclosed for Perlman.
