PROPOSAL 3
ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION</div>

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, enacted in July 2010, requires that companies provide shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of their named executive officers in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. We intend to hold such an advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote, each year in connection with our annual meeting of shareholders until the next vote on the frequency of the “Say-on-Pay” vote or until our Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for this advisory vote is in the best interests of our shareholders.
