Governance of the Company
The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors, which currently consists of nine members. The Board has four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Nominating, Governance and Risk Committee (“Governance Committee”), a Talent and Compensation Committee, and a Science and Technology Committee. Each of these committees operates under a written charter that it reviews at least annually. These charters, which have been approved by the Board, are available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at http://www.insulet.com. Additional details concerning the role and structure of the Board are contained in the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which can be found in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at http://www.insulet.com.

The Board has determined that each of our Directors, other than Ashley A. McEvoy, our President and Chief Executive Officer, are independent within the meaning of the director independence standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”). Those independent Directors are: Luciana Borio, Wayne A. I. Frederick, Jessica Hopfield, Robert L. Huffines, Michael R. Minogue, Timothy J. Scannell, Timothy C. Stonesifer, and Elizabeth H. Weatherman. The Audit Committee, Governance Committee, and Talent and Compensation Committee each consist solely of independent Directors.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board regularly assesses its leadership structure to determine the appropriate leadership for the Company. Based on the Board’s most recent assessment, the Board determined that the most advantageous leadership structure for the Company and its shareholders is to continue to have an independent, non-employee Director serve as the Board Chair. In December 2025, Ms. Weatherman assumed the role of Board Chair, a role previously held by Mr. Scannell.
The Board Chair is responsible for, among other things, coordinating with the Chief Executive Officer on the creation of the agenda for each meeting, providing input regarding the materials provided to the Board in advance of each meeting, ensuring that topics at each meeting are effectively covered, chairing executive sessions of the Board, acting as the principal liaison between the independent Directors and management, and serving as the focal point for shareholder requests addressed to the independent Directors. Additionally, pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board Chair is responsible for, among other things, receiving Board member resignation letters, calling special meetings, and presiding at Board meetings.
The Company does not have a policy as to whether the same person should serve as both Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make these determinations at any given point in time in the way that it believes provides the most appropriate leadership for the Company at that time. The Board believes its current leadership structure, which includes an independent Board Chair, supports the CEO in driving the Company’s growth and objectives and is the preferable Board leadership structure for the Company at this time. The Board recognizes that, depending on the circumstances, different Board leadership structures may be appropriate in the future.

The Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board from time to time the appropriate qualities, skills, and characteristics desired of members of the Board in the context of the needs of the business and current make-up of the Board. The Governance Committee must be satisfied that each committee-recommended nominee has high personal and professional integrity, demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment, a broad experience base or an area of particular expertise or experience that is important to the long-term success of the Company, a background that is complementary to that of existing Directors so as to provide management and the Board with a diversity and freshness of views, a level of self-confidence and articulateness to participate effectively and cooperatively in Board discussions, the willingness and ability to devote the necessary time and effort to perform the duties and responsibilities of Board membership, and the experience and ability to bring informed, thoughtful and well-considered opinions for the benefit of all shareholders to the Board and management.
In addition to these minimum qualifications, the Governance Committee will recommend that the Board select persons for nomination to help ensure that (i) a majority of the Board is “independent,” in accordance with the standards established by Nasdaq, (ii) at least one member of the Audit Committee has the experience, education and other qualifications necessary to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, (iii) the Audit Committee, the Talent and Compensation Committee and the Governance Committee are each composed entirely of independent Directors, and (iv) each member of the Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. Finally, in addition to any other standards the Governance Committee may deem appropriate for the overall structure and composition of the Board, the Governance Committee may consider whether a nominee has direct experience in the industry or in the markets in which the Company operates.
