This excerpt taken from the ANH DEF 14A filed Apr 22, 2008.

Corporate Governance

The board believes we have observed sound corporate governance practices in the past. Nevertheless, during the past five years, and particularly following enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we, like many public companies, have addressed the changing environment by reviewing our policies and procedures and, where appropriate, adopting new practices. In connection with these corporate governance initiatives, and based on a review of our current practices, current and pending laws and regulations, evolving corporate practices and standards and other factors, we have taken the following actions during the past five years:

 

  •  

amended the written charter for our Audit Committee pursuant to the revised rules of the NYSE;

 

  •  

upon the merger with our external manager in 2002, formed a Compensation Committee and adopted a written charter for such committee;

 

  •  

formed a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and adopted a written charter for such committee pursuant to the rules of the NYSE;

 

  •  

adopted and later amended a corporate Code of Conduct which qualifies as a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S–K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

 

  •  

adopted and later amended Corporate Governance Guidelines pursuant to the rules of the NYSE that govern, among other things, board member qualifications, responsibilities, compensation, management succession, as well as board self-evaluation; and

 

  •  

nominated four of six directors for election who qualify as “independent” as defined in the rules of the NYSE.

Corporate Governance

The board believes we have observed sound corporate governance practices in the past. Nevertheless, during the past four years, and particularly following enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we, like many public companies, have addressed the changing environment by reviewing our policies and procedures and, where appropriate, adopting new practices. In connection with these corporate governance initiatives, and based on a review of our current practices, current and pending laws and regulations, evolving corporate practices and standards and other factors, we have taken the following actions during the past four years:

 

  •  

amended the written charter for our Audit Committee pursuant to the revised rules of the NYSE;

 

  •  

upon the merger with our external manager in 2002, formed a Compensation Committee and adopted a written charter for such committee;

 

  •

Corporate Governance

The board believes we have observed sound corporate governance practices in the past. Nevertheless, during the past three years, and particularly following enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we, like many public companies, have addressed the changing environment by reviewing our policies and procedures and, where appropriate, adopting new practices. In connection with these corporate governance initiatives, and based on a review of our current practices, current and pending laws and regulations, evolving corporate practices and standards and other factors, we have further formalized our principles of corporate governance by taking the following actions during the past three years:

 

  •   adopted and further amended a revised written charter for our Audit Committee pursuant to the revised rules of the NYSE;

 

  •   upon the merger with our external manager in 2002, formed a Compensation Committee and adopted a written charter for such committee;

 

  •   formed a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and adopted a written charter for such committee pursuant to the rules of the NYSE;

 

  •   adopted a corporate Code of Conduct which qualifies as a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);
