Transactions with Related Persons
Review and Approval of Transactions with Management and Others
We maintain various policies and procedures relating to the review, approval or ratification of transactions in which we and our subsidiaries are a participant and in which any of our directors, executive officers, major stockholders or their family members have a direct or indirect material interest. We refer to these individuals and entities in this proxy statement as related persons. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which is available on our website at www.wizzardsoftware.com, prohibits our employees, including our executive officers, from engaging in specified activities without prior approval. These activities typically related to conflicts of interest situations where an employee may have significant financial or business interests in another company competing with or doing business with us, or who stands to benefit in some way from such a relationship or activity.
Our Board of Directors has responsibility for reviewing and approving or ratifying related person transactions as defined under SEC regulations to the extent not delegated to another committee of the Board. In addition, the Board annually determines the independence of directors based on a review by the directors and the Nominating Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves compensation arrangements for the executive officers and directors.
We believe that these policies and procedures collectively assure that all related person transactions requiring disclosure under SEC rules are appropriately reviewed and approved or ratified. Each of the transactions disclosed below has been reviewed and approved or ratified by our Board of Directors and we believe that the terms of each of these transactions are no less favorable to us than we could obtain from an unaffiliated party.
