“The organization requires written update of disclosures from its officers and directors on an annual basis. In accordance with bancroft procurement policy, interested parties are obligated to offer recusal from relevant management decisions, which the unaffected bancroft management parties can accept or reject prior to making final decisions. The following procedures are be used to address organizational conflict of interests: 1. The organizational relationship giving rise to the potential conflict is disclosed to the board of directors or to those individuals with board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. 2. Any individual with a potential conflict must recuse him/herself from decision-making with respect to the proposed transaction or arrangement. 3. After exercising due diligence, the board of directors or those individuals with board delegated powers determines whether bancroft can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. Exercising due diligence includes considering competitive bids, quotes, or other bases of valuation. 4. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably available under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, a majority vote of the disinterested members of the board of directors determines if the procurement action is in bancroft's best interest and is fair and reasonable. Based on these determinations, the board makes its decision on whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

The compensation process is discussed and documented in board minutes. The last compensation review took place in september 2020.”
