Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card? If a shareholder of record signs and returns the accompanying proxy card, but does not make any selections, the Board’s appointed Proxy Holders will have discretion to vote the shareholder’s shares on behalf of the shareholder at the Annual Meeting as recommended by the Board. If a beneficial owner of shares does not provide the bank or broker holding such shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of the NYSE, the shareholder’s bank or broker may generally vote on “routine” matters, but cannot vote on “non-routine” matters. “Broker non-votes” occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name fails to provide instructions to the broker, bank, or other holder of record as to how to vote on matters deemed non-routine.

Matter No. 4 (ratification of the appointment of independent registered accounting firm) is a routine matter. If a shareholder’s bank or broker does not receive the shareholder’s instructions on how to vote the shareholder’s shares on a non-routine matter, the shareholder’s bank or broker will inform the Company it does not have the beneficial owner’s authority to vote on the non-routine matter. In these cases, the broker, bank, or other holder of record can register your shares as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required under the NYSE rules. We encourage beneficial shareholders to provide voting instructions to the bank, broker, or agent holding their shares by carefully following the instructions in the notice provided by the shareholder’s bank, broker, or agent. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. Please submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. If you properly give your proxy and submit it to us in time to vote, the individuals named as your Proxy Holders will vote your shares as you have directed. How do I change my vote or revoke my proxy if I wish to do so? Shareholders of record can revoke their proxy at any time before their shares
