 meeting. Questions will be read and addressed during the Annual Meeting, as time permits.

Quorum; Required Vote

A majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, in attendance virtually or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum is present.

The vote required, including the effect of broker non-votes and abstentions, for each of the matters presented for shareholder vote, is as follows:

Election of Directors. A plurality of the votes cast is required to elect nominees to the Board. This means that the nominees who receive the most votes will be elected to the open Board positions. In counting votes on the election of the nominees, abstentions, and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast, so will not have any effect on the election of directors. In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, in an uncontested election (i.e., an election where the only nominees are those recommended by the Board), any nominee who currently serves on the Board and who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” such election is required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board for consideration in accordance with the procedures described below, following certification of the shareholder vote.

In considering what action to recommend with respect to the tendered resignation, the Governance Committee would take into account all factors deemed relevant by members of the Governance Committee including, without limitation, any stated reasons why shareholders “withheld” votes for the re-election of such director, the length of service
