 or all matters is considered present for purposes of determining if a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, but an abstention is not counted as a vote cast. An abstention has no effect on the vote on any proposal to be presented at the Annual Meeting. What is the effect of a broker non-vote? If a broker casts a vote on Proposal 3 (ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm), the vote will be included in determining whether a quorum exists for holding the Annual Meeting. The broker does not have authority to vote on the other proposals absent directions from the beneficial owner. As a result, if the beneficial owner does not vote on Proposals 1, 2, or 4, so that there is a broker non-vote on those items, the broker non-votes do not count as votes cast for those proposals. Thus, a broker non-vote on Proposals 1, 2, or 4 will not impact the following: • our ability to obtain a quorum (unless a broker also does not cast a vote on Proposal 3 as described in the preceding paragraph), • the outcome with respect to the election of directors (Proposal 1), • the outcome of the vote on a proposal that requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal (Proposals 2 and 4) Who will count the votes? Representatives of our proxy tabulator, Broadridge, will tabulate the votes and act as inspectors of election for the Annual Meeting. Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting? The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspectors of election and disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days following the Annual Meeting. Is my vote confidential? Yes. The vote of each stockholder is held in confidence from Price Group’s directors, officers, and employees. We do not know how any person or entity votes unless this information is voluntarily disclosed.
