Yes. The audit committee is led by Douglas Berthiaume, president, chairman and CEO of Waters Corporation. Mr. Berthiaume is considered to be both a financial expert and an independent board member under NASDAQ and SEC definitions, fulfilling the corporate governance requirements for an audit committee chair. Like Mr. Berthiaume, all members of the audit committee are fully independent by SEC and NASDAQ standards.
