Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to the Company and to all our directors and officers and persons performing similar functions, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. A copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics may be obtained on our website at decisionpt.com/code-of-business-ethics/. We intend to disclose future amendments to such code, or any waivers of its requirements, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our website identified above.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

We have a Board leadership structure whereby the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are separate. We believe this structure provides the Board with independent leadership and oversight of management and allows the Chief Executive Officer to concentrate on the Company’s business operations.

Our Board is comprised of six directors, five of whom we consider independent directors. All of our independent directors are highly accomplished and experienced business leaders in their respective fields, who have demonstrated leadership in significant enterprises and are familiar with board processes. We believe the current Board leadership structure facilitates effective communication, oversight and governance of the Company consistent with the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and other stakeholders.

The Board has delegated responsibility for the oversight of specific risks to Board committees as follows:

Director Independence

Our Board has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Cooke, Guttilla, Jaworski, Bravman and Taglich are “independent directors” as defined in Section 803 of the NYSE American Company Guide, and the Board consists of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the SEC and the NYSE American Company Guide relating to director independence requirements. Applying these same rules, our Board has affirmatively determined that all members of the audit committee, the compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee are independent.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board is described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until as otherwise determined by our board of directors.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee is composed of Messrs. Cooke and Guttilla. Mr. Guttilla serves as the chairperson of our audit committee. Our Board has determined that each member of our audit committee meets the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE American Company Guide and rules. Our Board has also determined that Mr. Guttilla is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the rules of the SEC and has the requisite financial sophistication as provided under the NYSE American Company Guide. The responsibilities of our audit committee will include, among other things:

Our audit committee operates under a written charter, which satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the requirements of the NYSE American Company Guide. Our audit committee charter is available on our website at decisionpt.com/investing-in-decisionpoint.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee is composed of Messrs. Jaworski, Guttilla and Taglich. Mr. Jaworski serves as the chairperson of our compensation committee. Our Board has determined that each member of our compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the applicable rules and the NYSE American Company Guide and rules. Each member of the compensation committee is a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The purpose of our compensation committee is to oversee our compensation policies, plans and benefit programs and to discharge the responsibilities of our Board relating to compensation of our executive officers. The responsibilities of our compensation committee include, among other things:

In 2020, the compensation committee engaged an independent compensation consultant, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), a nationally recognized consulting firm, to review the executive compensation programs (including executive pay levels) and assist in structuring short-term and long-term incentive programs for executive and operational management. Meridian reports directly and solely to the compensation committee. Meridian does not provide any other services to the Company, except at the direction of the compensation committee. The compensation committee assessed the independence of Meridian pursuant to the applicable rules and concluded that Meridian’s work did not raise any conflict of interest that would prevent it from independently representing the compensation committee.

Our compensation committee operates under a written charter which satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE American Company Guide.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The corporate governance and nominating committee is composed of Messrs. Jaworski, Cooke, Bravman, and Taglich. Mr. Cooke serves as chairperson of our corporate governance and nominating committee. Our Board has determined that all members of our nominating and corporate governance committee meet the requirements for independence under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE American stock exchange. The responsibilities of our nominating and corporate governance committee include, among other things:

Our nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter which satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE American Company Guide.

Director Nominations

Our nominating and corporate governance committee will recommend to the Board candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting of the stockholders. The Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the Board should follow the procedures set forth in our Bylaws.

We do not intend to formally establish any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Board considers character, professional ethics and integrity, judgment, business acumen, proven achievement and competence in one’s field, the ability to exercise sound business judgment, tenure on the Board and skills that are complementary to the Board, an understanding of our business, an understanding of the responsibilities that are required of a member of the Board, other time commitments, diversity with respect to professional background, education, race, ethnicity, gender, age and geography, as well as other individual qualities, attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.
