The Board of Directors believes that management speaks for the Company. Individual Board members may, from time to time, communicate with various constituencies that are involved with the Company, but it is expected that Board members would do this with knowledge of management and, in most instances, only at the request of management.
In cases where stockholders wish to communicate directly with our non-management Directors, e-mail messages can be sent to Y. Vicky Chou, our Vice President and General Counsel at legal@ovt.com. Ms. Chou monitors these communications and will provide a summary of all received messages to the Board of Directors at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors. In general, our Board of Directors meets on a quarterly basis. Where the nature of a communication warrants, Ms. Chou may determine, in her judgment, to obtain the more immediate attention of the appropriate committee of the Board or non-management Director, of independent advisors or of Company management, as Ms. Chou considers appropriate.
Ms. Chou may decide in the exercise of her judgment whether a response to any stockholder communication is necessary.
This procedure for stockholder communications with the non-management Directors is administered by the Company's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. This procedure does not apply to (a) communications from officers or directors of the Company, or (b) stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
