 cast on the proposal. Approval of these proposals is not a condition to completion of the Merger. For the purpose of each of these proposals, if you fail to authorize a proxy to vote your shares or vote at the Special Meeting, or fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote, it will not have any effect on the outcome of such proposals. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals. Accordingly, in order for your shares to be voted, if you are a stockholder of record, you must either return the enclosed proxy card, authorize your proxy or voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet or vote at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, our directors and executive officers owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately [●] shares of our Common Stock, entitling them to exercise approximately [●]% of the total combined voting power of our Common Stock at the Special Meeting. Our directors and executive officers have informed us that they intend to vote the shares of our Common Stock that they own in favor of the Merger Proposal, in favor of the Advisory Compensation Proposal and in favor of the Adjournment Proposal, although they have no obligation to do so. Votes cast by proxy or at the Special Meeting will be counted by the person appointed by us to act as inspector of election for the Special Meeting. The inspector of election will also determine the number of shares of Common Stock represented at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy. How to Authorize a Proxy Holders of record of our Common Stock may vote or cause their shares to be voted by proxy using one of the following methods:

| • |     | mark, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card by mail; |

| • |     | authorize your proxy or voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet by following the instructions 
 included with your proxy card; or                                                                              |

| • |     | attend and vote at the Special Meeting. |

Regardless of whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we request that you authorize a proxy for your shares as described above as promptly as possible. Under NYSE rules, all of the proposals in this proxy statement are non-routinematters, so there can be no broker non-votesat the Special Meeting. A broker non-voteoccurs when shares held by a broker, bank or other nominee are represented at a meeting, but the broker, bank or other nominee has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner
