 with a voting instruction card for you to use for this purpose. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account but you fail to return your voting instruction card to your broker, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. If you are a beneficial owner and your broker, bank, trust or other nominee holds your shares in its name, it is not permitted for the broker, bank, trust or other nominees to vote your shares without your instructions on the election of directors (Proposal 1); the “say-on-pay” vote (Proposal 2); the approval of the amendment and restatement of the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Proposal 3); and the adjournment proposal (Proposal 5). The broker, bank, trust or other nominees, however, are permitted to vote for the approval and ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (Proposal 4), therefore we do not expect any broker non-votes for Proposal 4. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. A properly executed proxy marked “abstain” with respect to Proposals 2, 3, and 5 will not be voted, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. The effects of broker non-votes for each proposal are described in more detail in response to the previous question above.

For Proposal 1 with respect to the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all or some of the nominees or you may vote “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. You may not cumulate your votes for the election of directors. Broker non-votes do not have any effect on the outcome of the votes.

For Proposal 2 with respect to the “say-on-pay” vote, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the votes.

For Proposal 3 with respect to the amendment and restatement of the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the votes.

For Proposal 4 with respect to the appointment and election of Deloitte & Tou
