Director Independence
Real Industry's Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company, and conforms to the independence requirements in the New York Stock Exchange's listed company rules. In making an independence determination, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances. The Board has determined that directors Bynoe, Deconinck, Hall, Lamb, and McIntosh satisfy the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission independence requirements.
With the exception of the Operations Committee, all committees are composed exclusively of independent directors. The Audit Committee must also satisfy an additional Securities and Exchange Commission independence requirement, which provides that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from Real Industry or any of its subsidiaries other than their directors' compensation, or otherwise be an "affiliated person" of the Company. The Board has determined that all members of the Audit Committee satisfy the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission independence requirements.
