 Merger Agreement.                                                                                     |

| Q: | If the Merger is completed, how do I obtain the Common Stock Merger Consideration for my Common Stock? |

| A: | Following the completion of the Merger, your shares of Common Stock will automatically be converted into the                                                                                                                                            
 right to receive your portion of the aggregate Common Stock Merger Consideration. Shortly after the Merger is completed, you will receive an instruction letter describing how you may exchange your shares of Common Stock for the Common Stock Merger 
 Consideration. If your shares of Common Stock are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee, you may receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee as to what action, if any, you need to take to effect the           
 surrender of your “street name” shares in exchange for the Common Stock Merger Consideration.                                                                                                                                                           |

| Q: | When and where is the Special Meeting? |

| Q: | Who can vote and attend the Special Meeting? |

Holders of our Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, but may not vote at, the Special Meeting. The vote of the holders of our Preferred Stock is not required to approve any of the proposals at the Special Meeting and is not being solicited. 13

| Q: | What vote of stockholders is required to approve the Merger Proposal? |

| A: | Approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding                                                                                                                                           
 shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on the matter at the Special Meeting. Because the required vote for this proposal is based on the number of votes our stockholders are entitled to cast rather than on the number of votes cast, failure to 
 vote your shares (including failure to give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee) and abstentions will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the Merger Proposal.                                                               |

| Q: | What vote of stockholders is required to approve the Advisory Compensation Proposal? |

| A: | Approval of the Advisory Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on                                                                                                         
 the proposal. For the purpose of this proposal, failure to vote your shares (including failure to give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominees) and abstentions will have no effect on the proposal. |
