 “street name,” you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. If you lose your 16-digit control number, you may join the Special Meeting as a “Guest” but you will not be able to vote, ask questions or access the list of stockholders as of the Record Date. We recommend that stockholders vote by proxy prior to the Special Meeting even if they plan to attend the Special Meeting.

Will there be a question and answer session during the Special Meeting?

As part of the Special Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer questions submitted online during or prior to the meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits. Only stockholders that have accessed the Special Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?” will be permitted to submit questions during the Special Meeting. Each stockholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things:

• irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Special Meeting;

• related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our Annual Report on Form 10-K;

• related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;

• related to personal grievances;

• derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste;

• substantially repetitious of questions already made by another stockholder;

• in excess of the two question limit;

• in furtherance of the stockholder’s personal or business interests; or

• out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Special Meeting as determined by the Chair or Secretary in their reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct” available on the Special Meeting webpage for stockholders that have accessed the Special Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above.
