 that govern broker non-votes, the Director Election Proposal and Say on Pay Proposal are considered non-discretionary matters and a broker will lack the authority to vote shares at his/her discretion on such proposals. The Ratification Proposal, however, is considered a discretionary or “routine” matter and therefore, a broker may exercise his/her discretion to vote for or against that proposal in the absence of your instructions. HOW MANY VOTES ARE REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL? With respect to the Director Election Proposal, each director nominee is elected at the Annual Meeting by a “majority vote” standard in uncontested elections, which means that for each of the director nominees, the number of shares voted “FOR” must exceed the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” such nominee for director in order to be elected (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as votes cast either “FOR” or “AGAINST” that director’s election). There is no cumulative voting. Any incumbent director nominee who fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Board from time to time. In accordance with such policies and procedures, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or such other committee designated by the Board, will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject such resignation, or whether other action should be taken, and the Board will act taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s or such other committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results. With respect to the Ratification Proposal and Say on Pay Proposal, approval requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on each such proposal, which means that the number of shares voted “FOR” each proposal must exceed the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” at the Annual Meeting. While these proposals are advisory in nature and non-binding, the Board will review the voting results and will consider the results of the Say on Pay vote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation. HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED? With respect to the Director Election Proposal, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to each nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will
