SCHN 2017 Proxy Statement

Proposal No. 1 – Election of Directors During fiscal 2017, the Board of Directors held four meetings, the Audit Committee held eight meetings, the Compensation Committee held seven meetings, and the N&CG Committee held four meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees of the Board on which he or she served that were held during the period for which he or she served. We encourage all directors to attend each annual meeting of shareholders. All directors then serving attended the 2017 annual meeting. Board Leadership The current Board leadership structure separates the role of Chairman and CEO. These roles have been separate since May 2005 and the Board and the N&CG Committee have determined that the current structure continues to be appropriate as it enables the CEO to focus on the complexities and challenges of the role as our chief executive officer while enabling the Chairman to provide leadership at the Board level. This leadership structure also enables the Board to better fulfill its risk oversight responsibilities, as described under “The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight”. The Board periodically assesses its leadership structure in light of the Company’s needs and circumstances. The Board also has a lead director, who is an independent director. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the lead director role is periodically rotated among the independent directors. As of September 1, 2014, Mr. Hicks replaced Mr. Larsson as lead director. The lead director’s responsibilities include: facilitating effective communication between the Board and management; consulting with the Chairman and the CEO; discussing annually with the Chairman of the Board and the CEO their performance; and presiding at meetings of the Board when the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors. The lead director generally attends all meetings of the Board’s committees. Board Committees and Responsibilities Audit Committee Chair: David L. Jahnke Additional Members: David J.
