Under the laws of Maryland, our state of incorporation, abstentions and Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but are not counted as votes cast at the meeting. Broker non-votes occur when Brokers, who hold their customers’ shares in street name, submit proxies for such shares on some matters, but not others. Generally, this would occur when Brokers have not received any instructions from their customers. In these cases, the Brokers, as the holders of record, are permitted to vote on “routine” matters, which typically include the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm, but not on non-routine matters. Brokers are not permitted to vote on the election of Directors or matters related to executive compensation without instructions from their customers. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the election of any Director or the advisory approval of executive compensation because they are not counted as votes cast at the meeting.
