Nominating and Governance Committee financial

"to serve as a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors"

A nominating and governance committee is a group of board members tasked with choosing and evaluating directors, planning leadership succession, and setting the company’s board-related rules and ethical standards. Think of it as the company’s hiring and rule-making panel for its top overseers. Its work matters to investors because it shapes who governs the company, how leadership transitions are handled, and whether the board can effectively oversee management and protect shareholder interests.

Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) financial

"He has held the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation since 1998"

A chartered financial analyst (CFA) is a professional credential awarded to investment professionals who pass a series of rigorous exams and agree to a strict code of ethics. For investors, the CFA label is like a professional licence: it signals tested knowledge in analyzing investments, building and managing portfolios, and a commitment to ethical conduct, which can increase trust in someone’s investment advice or stewardship of funds.

independent trustee financial

"Mr. Maxwell also currently serves as an independent trustee for Tortoise Capital Series Trust"

Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K regulatory

"he does not have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K"
