Lead Independent Director since 2022. The independent directors selected Mr. Siewert to lead our Board as Lead Independent Director because he has extensive leadership experience, including risk management and oversight, shaped through his experience as Chairman, Asia, of Restaurant Brands International and his years as a Senior Advisor and Managing Director and Partner for The Carlyle Group, Inc., his prior leadership roles at The Coca Cola Company and Eastman Kodak Company and his experience as lead director at Avery Dennison Corporation. Given his broad global and operational experience in the food, beverage, and consumer products industries, the Board believes Mr. Siewert is well positioned to: provide independent Board leadership and oversight, including with respect to business matters and risk management activities; facilitate effective information flow to directors and across committees, and promote active discussion and collaboration among the independent directors; serve as an effective liaison between the Board and management, as well as between the independent directors and the Chair and CEO; provide candid, constructive, and independent feedback to management, including regarding Board concerns and information needs; and actively engage in shareholder outreach.
