To compute the percentage of affiliated directors, we read the following sections of the proxy statements: (1) biographical background of directors and officers, and (2) certain relationships and related transactions. Companies are required to disclose the backgrounds of their directors, including affiliations between the company and the director, in these sections of the proxy statement. Reg. 229.401 of SEC Regulation S-K requires board nominees and directors to disclose family relationships, prior business experience (used to determine if a director was a former officer), and other directorships held (used to determine the existence of an interlocking directorate). In addition, Reg. 229.404 requires disclosure of nominees or directors who have been a member of, or counsel to, law firms the registrant retained during the past year. Also, companies must disclose nominees or directors who are executive officers of suppliers (customers) of the registrant, if the amount of goods or services purchased (sold) exceeds five percent of either party’s consolidated gross revenues
