ED QUESTIONS What is a proxy statement and what is a proxy? We are furnishing this proxy statement to stockholders on behalf of our Board, who is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. A proxy statement is a document that SEC regulations require us to give you when we ask you to sign a proxy designating individuals to vote on your behalf. This proxy statement summarizes information concerning the matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting and related information to help stockholders make an informed vote. A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock that you own. That other person is called a proxy. The proxy card is your written document that designates someone to be your proxy. We have designated three of our officers as proxies for the Annual Meeting — John B. Gibson, President and CEO, Robert L. Schrader, SVP and CFO and Prabha Sipi Bhandari, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Ethics Officer, and Secretary. When and where is the Annual Meeting?
