This excerpt taken from the TFX DEF 14A filed Mar 27, 2009. Governance
Committee
The Governance Committee is responsible for identifying
qualified individuals for Board membership and recommending
individuals for nomination to the Board and its committees. In
addition, the Governance Committee reviews and makes
recommendations to the Board as to the size and composition of
the Board and Board committees and eligibility criteria for
Board and Board committee membership. The Governance Committee
also is responsible for developing and recommending corporate
governance principles to the Board and overseeing the evaluation
of the Board and management.
The Governance Committee considers candidates for Board
membership. Our Corporate Governance Principles provide that
directors are expected to possess the highest character and
integrity, and to have business, professional, academic,
government or other experience which is relevant to our business
and operations. In addition, directors must be able to devote
substantial time to our affairs. The charter of the Governance
Committee provides that in evaluating nominees, the Governance
Committee should consider the attributes set forth above. Under
our Corporate Governance Principles, a director must retire from
the Board at the expiration of his or her term following
attainment of age 70, except in special circumstances that
must be described in a resolution adopted by the Board
requesting such director to defer retirement.
During 2008, we retained a third-party search firm to assist in
identifying and evaluating potential director candidates. This
third-party search firm identified and assisted in evaluating
Stuart A. Randle as a candidate for the Board.
The Governance Committee will consider recommendations for
director candidates from stockholders. Stockholders can
recommend candidates for nomination by delivering or mailing
written recommendations to Teleflex Incorporated, 155 South
Limerick Road, Limerick, Pennsylvania 19468, Attention:
Secretary. In order to enable consideration of the candidate in
connection with our 2010 Annual Meeting, a stockholder must
submit the following information by November 27, 2009:
In considering any candidate proposed by a stockholder, the
Governance Committee will reach a conclusion based on the
criteria described above. The Governance Committee may seek
additional information regarding the candidate. After full
consideration, the stockholder proponent will be notified of the
decision of the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee
will consider all potential candidates in the same manner
regardless of the source of the recommendation.
The current members of the Governance Committee are
Mrs. Barron and Messrs. Cook, Lubsen and Klasko.
Mrs. Barron currently serves as the chair of the Governance
Committee. The
