Will I be able to participate in the online annual meeting on the same basis as I would be able to participate in a live meeting? The Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. The online meeting format for the Meeting will enable full and equal participation by all our shareholders from any place in the world at little to no cost. We designed the format of the Meeting to ensure that our shareholders who attend our Meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-personmeeting and to enhance shareholder access, participation and communication through online tools. We will take the following steps to ensure such an experience:

| ∎ |     | providing shareholders with the ability to submit appropriate questions real-time via the Meeting website, limiting questions to one per shareholder 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. |

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the live webcast. If you encounter any difficulties while accessing the Meeting during the check-inor meeting time, a technical assistance phone number will be made available on the Meeting registration page 15 minutes prior to the start time of the Meeting. The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, and cell phones) running the most updated version of applicable software and plugins. Participants should ensure that they have a strong WiFi connection wherever they intend to participate in the Meeting. Participants should also give themselves plenty of time to log in and ensure that they can hear audio prior to the start of the Meeting. What are “broker non-votes”?

If you do not give instructions to your bank or broker within ten days of the Meeting, your bank or broker may vote Broker Securities with respect to matters that the NYSE determines to be “routine,” but will not be permitted to vote your Broker Securities with respect to “non-routine”items. When a bank or broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owners of Broker Securities or persons entitled to vote any Broker Securities, and the bank or broker cannot vote on a particular matter because it is not “routine,” then there
