Corporate Governance - Highlights
Raptor is committed to implementing best practices in corporate governance. As part of these efforts, we have created a third-party administered anonymous whistle-blower hotline for our employees to report any suspected illegal activities directly to our Board of Directors. The table below contains information about our Board of Directors:

(1) Member of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.
(2) Member of the Audit Committee.
(3) Member of the Compensation Committee.
(4) Because of Mr. Anderson’s extensive financial management background, we believe that Mr. Anderson is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined under Item 407(d)(5) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K. Mr. Anderson is not a Raptor employee and we have determined that he is “independent” as defined in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).
