 nominees cannot use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered “non-routine” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), even though we are a Nasdaq-listed company. “Non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, election of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation) and certain corporate governance proposals, even if these proposals are supported by management. Accordingly, your broker or nominee may not vote your shares on Proposal No. 1 or No. 3 without your instructions but may vote your shares on Proposal No. 2.

If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we will file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.
