25. Q: What is the effect of a broker non-vote?

A: Broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but will not be considered present and entitled to vote on any matter for which a broker, bank or other nominee does not have authority.

For the Annual Meeting, pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, your broker, bank or other nominee will be permitted to vote for you without instruction only with respect to Proposal 2 regarding the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. A broker non-vote will not have any impact on the outcome of any other proposals.
