The minimum qualifications for director candidates are set forth in the Charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. If a shareholder wishes to propose a director candidate for nomination at the annual general meeting, then the shareholder must comply with the procedures set forth in the Company’s Bye-laws and Bermuda law. Procedures for Handling Shareholder and Other Communications to the Directors The members of the Board of Directors have instructed the Corporate Secretary to initially review all communications directed to them. Communications that are not relevant to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, such as the following, are not reported to the Board:
Any communications related to RAM Holdings’ accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters will be referred promptly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Any allegations pertaining to a serious accounting infraction involving senior managers of the Company or any other potentially material complaint would then be investigated as directed by the Audit Committee and the results of such investigation would be reported to the Board. All other communications received by the Corporate Secretary will be forwarded promptly to the specific Board committee or director(s) to whom it is addressed or otherwise to the non-management directors as a group. Shareholders and other interested parties who wish to communicate with the Company’s directors may do so anonymously or confidentially, and should direct correspondence to a particular director or committee, or to the directors as a group, by e-mail at info@ramre.com or by regular mail to Corporate Secretary, RAM Holdings, RAM Re House, 46 Reid Street, Hamilton HM 12 Bermuda. |
