The Company believes that these votes were due to his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ericcson while also serving on the board of two additional publicly traded companies, including the Company, which resulted in a "withhold" recommendation by Glass Lewis.Mr. Ekholm has been a strong contributor and invaluable member ofTrimble's board of directors (the "Board"). His unique international perspective provides the board with insight intoEurope andChina - two important markets forTrimble . His combined CEO and board role at Ericsson allows him to bring his operational expertise to our Board as well. And his quarter century of experience as a financial investor also brings a shareholder's perspective to the boardroom. This blend of international, operational and financial perspectives combined with his outstanding qualifications and accomplishments makeMr. Ekholm a unique and invaluable member of our Board.Mr. Ekholm has attended every meeting, both at the Board and compensation committee, since his appointment, and the Company expects his diligent attendance and strong participation to continue. Additionally,Mr. Ekholm has always made himself accessible to our executive management and provided timely and valuable counsel outside of formal Board and committee meetings. However, the Company acknowledges thatMr. Ekholm is considered over-boarded by several of our large institutional stockholders, and this matter will be fully considered and addressed by the Board'sNominating and Corporate Governance Committee prior to recommending directors for election at the Company's 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
