The online meeting format for the Annual Meeting will enable full and equal participation by all our stockholders from any place in the world at little to no cost to our stockholders.

We designed the format of the virtual Annual Meeting to ensure that our stockholders who attend our Annual Meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting and to enhance stockholder access, participation and communication through online tools. To ensure such an experience, we are providing stockholders with the ability to submit appropriate questions real-time via the meeting website (limiting questions to one per stockholder unless time otherwise permits) and answering as many questions submitted in accordance with the meeting rules of conduct as possible in the time allotted for the meeting without discrimination.
