 on the Record Date. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held.

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and you should have received a notice containing voting instructions from your nominee rather than from us. You should follow the voting instructions in the notice to ensure that your vote is counted.

<div align='center'>Quorum Required</div>

For the Company to conduct business at the Annual Meeting, a quorum of Stockholders for the Company must be present (virtually) at the Annual Meeting. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person (virtually) or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting. Those Stockholders who have not otherwise submitted a proxy accessing the Annual Meeting via the listen-only conference call will not be deemed to be “present” for purposes of determining a quorum for the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes (as defined below) will be treated as shares present at the Annual Meeting for quorum purposes. If there are not enough votes for a quorum for the Annual Meeting, the chairman of the Annual Meeting will adjourn the Annual Meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

In an election where the number of nominees is equal to the number of directors to be elected, as is the case at the Annual Meeting, the election of a director to the Board requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against such nominee at the Annual Meeting in person (virtually) or by proxy. If you vote “Against” with respect to a nominee, your shares will be voted against the person indicated. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

Stockholders of the Company may not cumulate their votes.

Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result,
