,363,640 shares of Common Stock. Holders of our Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of, but may not vote at, the Special Meeting. The vote of the holders of our Preferred Stock is not required to approve any of the proposals at the Special Meeting and is not being solicited. The presence in person or by proxy of our stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Special Meeting will constitute a quorum for purposes of the Special Meeting. A quorum is necessary to transact business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes,if any, will be included in determining whether a quorum is present.

Because all of the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are “non-routine”matters, brokers, banks and other nominees will not have authority to vote on any proposals unless instructed, so we do not expect there to be any broker non-votesat the Special Meeting. Required Vote Completion of the Merger requires approval of the Merger Proposal by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on the matter at the Special Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on. Because the required vote for this proposal is based on the number of votes our stockholders are entitled to cast rather than on the number of votes cast, if you fail to authorize a proxy to vote your shares or vote at the Special Meeting (including by abstaining), or fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote, such failure will have the same effect as voting against the Merger Proposal. Holders of our Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on the Merger Proposal. 2

The approval of the Advisory Compensation Proposal and the approval of the Adjournment Proposal each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Approval of either of these proposals is not a condition to completion of the Merger. For the purpose of each of these proposals, if you fail to authorize a proxy
