#### General
Please be aware that any costs related to voting via the Internet, such as Internet access charges, will be your responsibility.

All properly signed proxies that are timely received and that are not revoked will be voted at the Compass special meeting according to the instructions indicated on the proxies or, if no direction is indicated, they will be voted as recommended by the Compass Board.

#### Treatment of Abstentions; Failure to Vote
For each of the Compass share issuance proposal and the Compass adjournment proposal, if a Compass stockholder present at the Compass special meeting abstains from voting, or responds by proxy with an “abstain” vote, it will have no effect on the outcome of such proposal. If a Compass stockholder is not present at the Compass special meeting and does not respond by proxy, it will have no effect on the vote count for such proposal.

#### Shares Held in Street Name
If your shares of Compass common stock are held in an account at a bank, broker or other nominee holder of record (i.e., in “street name”), you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote the shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by the bank, broker or other nominee. You may also vote shares held in street name by returning a Compass proxy card via mail or by voting virtually at the Compass special meeting. Further, banks, brokers or other nominees who hold shares of Compass common stock on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to Compass to vote those shares with respect to the Compass share issuance proposal and the Compass adjournment proposal without specific instructions from their customers, as banks, brokers and other nominees do not have discretionary voting power on these “non-routine” matters. Broker non-votes occur when a broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of shares to vote on a particular proposal for which the broker does not have discretionary voting power.

Therefore, if you are a Compass stockholder and you do not instruct your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your bank, broker or other nominee may not vote your shares on the Compass share issuance proposal or the Compass adjournment proposal, which broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the vote count for such proposal.

Attendance and Voting at the Compass Special Meeting

You or your authorized proxy may attend the Compass special meeting if you were a registered or beneficial stockholder of Compass common stock as of
