How many shares must be present or represented to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. A majority of the voting power of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present virtually or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. Based on 44,549,621 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, 22,274,811 shares of common stock would be required to be present virtually or represented by proxy for there to be a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, no business can be transacted at that time, and the meeting will be continued, adjourned or postponed to a later date. A stockholder’s instruction to “withhold” authority, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining quorum. See “ What is a `broker non-vote ?” and “ What is an abstention and how will votes withheld and abstentions be treated? ” below for an explanation of broker non-votes, abstentions and votes withheld.

What is the difference between a “stockholder of record” and a “street name” holder?

As described above, if your shares of our common stock are registered directly in your name with Continental, you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. If your shares of our common stock are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker or other nominee, the bank, broker or other nominee is considered the record holder of those shares. You are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are held in “street name.”
