HORACE MANN EDUCATORS CORP /DE/

A training schedule is developed, with input from the Directors, which covers a broad range of topics to enhance and strengthen the skills, knowledge and competencies of Directors. Examples of such topics include cybersecurity, crisis management, regulatory developments, corporate governance and industry trends. The program encompasses presentations from internal and external speakers as well as site visits and regular meetings with management. Each Director is required to participate in at least one education program every two years and may choose to participate in up to two education programs in a two-year period at the Company’s expense. These training programs satisfy the Director’s educational requirements and, thus, all Directors are in compliance. Directors are also encouraged to avail themselves of educational programs offered through recognized independent providers.

Directors also must have a willingness and ability to devote the time and effort required to serve effectively on the Board, including preparation for and attendance at Board and committee meetings. Directors should advise the Board Chair and the Chair of the Nominating & Governance Committee in advance of accepting an invitation to serve on another public company board.
