What do I need in order to be able to participate in the Annual Meeting?

If your shares are held in street name and your voting instruction form indicates that you may vote those shares through thehttp://www.proxyvote.comwebsite, then you may access, participate in, and vote electrically during the Annual Meeting with the 16-digit access code indicated on that voting instruction form. Otherwise, stockholders who hold their shares in street name should contact their broker, bank, or other nominee (preferably at least five days before the Annual Meeting) and obtain a “legal proxy” in order to be able to attend, participate in, or vote electronically during the Annual Meeting.
