TABLE OF CONTENTS About the Annual Shareholders Meeting and Voting

| 19.How are votes counted? What is the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes on each proposal? |

You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or you may “ABSTAIN” from voting on any or all of the director nominees named in this proxy statement and on any other proposal to be voted on at the Annual Shareholders Meeting. If you indicate “ABSTAIN” on any or all nominees or proposals, your vote will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Shareholders Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof (see Question 21 below) but will not be considered a vote cast with respect to the director nominee(s) or other proposal(s) on which you abstain from voting. As a result, abstentions should have no effect on the outcome of the vote for the election of the director nominees named in this proxy statement (Proposal 1), the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2), and the advisory approval of our executive compensation (Proposal 3), in each case unless such abstentions result in a failure to obtain affirmative votes representing more than 25% of our outstanding shares. Broker non-votes, which are discussed in Question 18 above, will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Shareholders Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, but will not be considered votes cast with respect to any of the proposals for which they occur. As a result, if broker non-votes occur on the election of any of the director nominees named in this proxy statement (Proposal 1), the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2), and the advisory approval of our executive compensation (Proposal 3), they should have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal, in each case unless such broker non-votes result in a failure to obtain affirmative votes representing more than 25% of our outstanding shares. See Question 18 above for additional information about broker non-votes. See Question 20 below for information on the effect of failing to timely vote or voting without giving specific instructions if you are a shareholder of record. See Question 12 above for information on the effect of failing to timely vote or voting without giving specific
