The policy also requires a director to abstain from discussing any issue, project or transaction in which the director has a conflict of interest and to absent himself, or herself, from any subsequent vote on the matter. Before discussion begins and before voting on a matter that might involve a conflict of interest, directors are reminded of their obligation not to participate if they perceive a conflict of interest. In addition, the board may request a director to take a leave of absence until the matter giving rise to the conflict of interest has been resolved.
