Mr. Claude Falgon, Chairman of the Board
“From the beginning, the Directors had a deep sense of the importance of good governance and
for the Board to function well. As the Board became more focused on stewardship and strategic
decision-making, they recognized the need to diversify its composition and bring in experienced
independent directors capable of defending the interests of the company in order to create value
for shareholders, and not just protect their interests.”
