 the requirements of Rule 14a-19. We will not entertain any proposals or nominations at the meeting that do not meet the requirements set forth in our By-laws or the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. TRANSACTION OF OTHER BUSINESS As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board knows of no other business that will be conducted at the Annual Meeting other than as described in this Proxy Statement. If any other matter or matters are properly brought before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote the proxy on such matters in accordance with their best judgment. HOUSEHOLDING The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering one copy of these materials, other than the proxy card, to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” can mean extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for the Company. Beneficial stockholders can request information about householding from their banks, brokers, or other nominees. Through householding, stockholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of our Proxy Statement and Annual Report, unless one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce printing costs and postage fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards, to the extent requested. If you are eligible for householding, but you and other stockholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report, or if you hold stock in more than one account and wish to receive only a single copy of the Proxy Statement or Annual Report for your household, please contact Broadridge Householding Department, in writing, at 51 Mercedes 58 TABLE OF CONTENTS Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, or by phone at (800) 542-1061 or (866) 540-7095. If you are a beneficial owner, please contact your bank, broker, or other nominee directly if you have questions, require additional copies of the proxy materials, wish to receive multiple copies by revoking your consent to householding or wish to request single copies of the proxy materials in the future.
