 qualified employees and undermine the purpose of our compensation program. The uncertainty from seeking shareholder approval in these circumstances demonstrates the impracticality and negative impacts of the rigid policy requested by proposal. Conclusion The Board believes the concerns raised by the proponent are already and more appropriately addressed by our existing executive compensation policies and practices, which are more carefully tailored to the company’s needs and the interests of shareholders than the overly broad policy sought by this proposal. Further, adopting the policy requested by the proponent would be unduly restrictive on the company’s ability to recruit and retain its most critical employees, would undermine the purpose of an important part of the company’s compensation program, and is not in the best interests of the company or its shareholders. For these reasons, the Board unanimously recommends that you vote AGAINST the proposal. THE PROPOSAL IS ADVISORY IN NATURE, AND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL WOULD NOT IN ITSELF ESTABLISH A BOARD POLICY OR AMEND OUR GOVERNING DOCUMENTS. APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL WOULD SERVE ONLY AS A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD. IF THE PROPOSAL IS NOT PROPERLY PRESENTED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE PROPONENT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, IT WILL NOT BE VOTED UPON. 109 TABLE OF CONTENTS ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING Why did I receive these proxy materials?
