 rather than directly in their own names. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner with respect to those shares, and these proxy materials (including a voting instruction card) are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, if you do not direct your broker, bank, or other nominee how to vote your shares, the broker, bank, or other nominee will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on each applicable matter.

Have available the information that is printed in the box marked by the arrow provided in your Internet Notice or, if you requested a printed copy of the proxy materials, proxy card or voting instruction card in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions to vote during the annual meeting. BENEFICIAL OWNERS. If you hold your common shares through a bank, broker or other nominee and want to vote such shares electronically at the annual meeting, you must direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, if you do not direct your broker, bank, or other nominee how to vote your shares, the broker, bank, or other nominee will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote
