Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | The Company has a corporate policy governing the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, as that term is defined in the Instructions to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act (“Related Party”). Under this policy, all Related Party transactions are identified and approved prior to consummation of the transaction to ensure they are consistent with the Company’s best interests and the best interests of its stockholders. Among other factors, the Company’s Board considers the size and duration of the transaction, the nature and interest of the of the Related Party in the transaction, whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest and if the transaction is on terms that are at least as favorable to the Company as would be available in a comparable transaction with an unaffiliated third party. Envela’s Board reviews all Related Party transactions at least annually to determine if it is in the Board’s best interests and the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to continue, modify, or terminate any of the Related Party transactions. Envela’s Related Person Transaction Policy is available for review in its entirety under the “Investors” menu of the Company’s corporate relations website at www.envela.com.
