Consideration of Director Nominees
In evaluating and determining whether to recommend a person as a candidate for election as a director, the Board of Directors considers the person’s qualities, skills and personal experience, which include business and professional background, history of leadership or contributions to other organizations, function skill set and expertise, general understanding of marketing, finance, accounting and other elements relevant to the success of a publicly-traded company in today’s business environment, and service on other boards of directors. Other than as previously described, the Company has no specific policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees for director. There are no specific minimum qualifications for nominees. The Board of Directors may employ a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating Committee may assess the size of the Board, the need for particular expertise on the Board, the upcoming election cycle of the Board and whether any vacancies are expected, due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated or otherwise arise, the Board of Directors will consider various potential candidates for director which may come to the Board of Directors’ attention through current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. No fees have been paid to any third party to identify or evaluate potential director nominees.
In exercising its function of recommending individuals for nomination by the Board for election as directors, the Board of Directors considers nominees recommended by shareholders. The Board of Directors will consider candidates recommended by shareholders under the criteria summarized above. The Board of Directors will make an initial analysis of the qualities and skills of any candidate recommended by shareholders or others pursuant to the criteria summarized above to determine whether the candidate is suitable for service on our Board before deciding to undertake a complete evaluation of the candidate. If any materials are provided by a shareholder or professional search firm in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials are forwarded to the Board of Directors as part of its review. The same identifying and evaluating procedures apply to all candidates for director nomination, including candidates submitted by shareholders.
If you would like the Board of Directors to consider a prospective candidate, please submit the candidate’s name and biographical description to: Data Storage Consulting Services, Inc., Rm O-R, Floor 23rd, Building A, Fortune Plaza, Shenzhen, P.R. China, 518040, Attention: Chief Executive Officer.
