Abstentions and broker “non-votes” (as described below) will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote by holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting until a quorum has been obtained.
