Board Leadership Structure: Board Independence and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board is currently comprised of five directors, with Mr. Seneff serving as the chairman of the Board. The Bylaws allow the roles of chairman of the board and chief executive officer to be separated or combined, and the Board believes that it is appropriate to have these as separate positions at this time on account of the varying strengths, experiences and relationships of each of these individuals in the real estate industry. The chairman, Mr. Seneff, has unique knowledge, experience and relationships with the Board and management and within a broad spectrum of the real estate market, and his continued role as chairman provides significant value to the Company. Mr. Mauldin, the president and chief executive officer, has extensive experience and relationships in the sectors in which the Company acquires and owns real estate properties and the Board believes that these attributes are complementary to the strengths of Mr. Seneff.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, each of Dr. Douglas and Messrs. Ford and Woody served as Independent Directors. Although the Company’s shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company applies the exchange’s standards of independence to its own outside directors and for the year ended December 31, 2013, each of Dr. Douglas Messrs. Ford and Woody met the definition of “independent” under Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

The Audit Committee focuses on the adequacy of the Company’s enterprise risk management and risk mitigation processes. The Audit Committee meets regularly to discuss the strategic direction and the issues and opportunities facing the Company in light of trends and developments in the REIT industry and general business environment. Throughout the year, the Board provides guidance to management regarding the Company’s strategy and helps to refine its operating plans to implement the Company’s strategy. The Audit Committee holds meetings with senior management, PricewaterhouseCoopers and internal audit to review the categories of risk the Company faces, including any risk concentrations and risk interrelationships, as well as the likelihood of occurrence, the potential impact of those risks and mitigating measures. The involvement of the Audit Committee in setting the Company’s business strategy is critical to the determination of the types and appropriate levels of risk undertaken by the Company. The Board’s role in risk oversight of the Company is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the president and chief executive officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and the Board and the Audit Committee providing oversight of risk management efforts.

Board Meetings During Fiscal Year 2013

The Board met seven times during 2013. Each member of the Board attended 100% of the total Board meetings, with the exception of Mr. Seneff. During 2013, the Audit Committee held five meetings and each member of the Audit Committee attended 100% of the total meetings. Although the Company does not have a policy on director attendance at the 2014 Annual Meeting of stockholders, directors are encouraged to do so. All the directors of the Company attended the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Company has a standing Audit Committee, the members of which are selected by the Board each year. During 2013, the Audit Committee was comprised of Dr. Bruce Douglas and Messrs. Adam Ford, and Robert, J. Woody, each of whom was determined to be “independent” under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange referenced above. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is posted on the Company’s website at www.cnlifestylereit.com. The Audit Committee assists the Board by providing oversight responsibilities relating to:

 

    The integrity of financial reporting;

 

    The independence, qualifications and performance of the Company’s independent auditors;

 

    The systems of internal controls;

 

    The performance of the Company’s internal audit function;

 

    Compliance with management’s audit, accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures; and

 

    Company risk management.

In addition, the Audit Committee engages and is responsible for the compensation and oversight of the Company’s independent auditors and internal auditors. In performing these functions, the Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent auditors, management and internal auditors (including private sessions) to review the results of their work. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Audit Committee met four times with the Company’s independent auditors, internal auditors and management to discuss the annual and quarterly financial reports prior to filing them with the Commission. The Audit Committee has determined that Mr. Ford is an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules and regulations of the Commission for purposes of Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Currently, the Company does not have a nominating committee, and therefore, does not have a nominating committee charter. The Board is of the view that it is not necessary to have a nominating committee at this time because the Board is composed of only five members, including a majority of “independent directors” (as defined under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards), and each director is responsible for identifying and recommending qualified Board candidates. The Board does not have a formal policy regarding diversity. The Board considers many factors with regard to each candidate, including judgment, integrity, diversity, prior professional experience, background, the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members, the extent to which the candidate would be desirable as a member of the Audit Committee, and the candidate’s willingness to devote substantial time and effort to Board responsibilities.

Company stockholders may recommend individuals to the Board for consideration as potential director candidates by timely submitting their names and appropriate background and biographical information to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s offices. Assuming that the appropriate information has been timely provided, the Board will consider these candidates substantially in the same manner as it considers other Board candidates it identifies.

Currently, the Company does not have a compensation committee because it does not have any employees and does not separately compensate its executive officers for their services as officers. At such time, if any, as the Company’s shares of common stock are listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market or the Company has employees to whom it directly provides compensation, the Company will form a compensation committee, the members of which will be selected by the full Board each year.

Audit Fees – Consists of professional services rendered in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reviews of the Company’s interim financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Audit fees also include fees for services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers that are closely related to the audit and in many cases could only be provided by the Company’s independent auditors. Such services include consents related to the Company’s registration statements, assistance with, and review of, other documents filed with the Commission and accounting advice on completed transactions.

Audit-Related Fees – Consists of services related to audits of properties acquired, due diligence services related to contemplated property acquisitions and accounting consultations. There were no professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers that would be classified as audit-related fees during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Tax Fees – Consists of services related to corporate tax compliance, including review of corporate tax returns, review of the tax treatments for certain expenses and tax due diligence relating to acquisitions.

All Other Fees – There were no professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers that would be classified as other fees during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

Under the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors in order to assure that the provisions of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. The policy, as described below and set forth in the Audit Committee Charter sets forth conditions and procedures for such pre-approval of services to be performed by the independent auditor and utilizes both a framework of general pre-approval for certain specified services and specific pre-approval for all other services.

The annual audit services, as well as all audit-related services (assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the auditor’s review of the financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor), requires the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, however, grant general pre-approval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide (such as comfort letters or consents). The Audit Committee has pre-approved all tax services and may grant general pre-approval for those permissible non-audit services that it has classified as “all other services” because it believes such services are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.

The fee amounts for all services to be provided by the independent auditor are established annually by the Audit Committee, and any proposed service fees exceeding approved levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Requests to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee are submitted to the Audit Committee by the independent auditor, the chief financial officer and the chief executive officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the Commission’s rules on auditor independence.
