Mr. Fink will serve on the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company.

Mr. Fink was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, one of the world’s largest independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, from November 2018 until its acquisition by Occidental Petroleum Corporation in August 2019.
