The Compass adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast, whether or not a quorum is present. 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 or does not provide his, her or its bank, broker or other nominee with instructions, as applicable, it will have no effect on the vote count for such proposal.

#### Proxies and Revocations
Any Compass stockholder of record entitled to vote at the Compass special meeting may submit a proxy by telephone, over the Internet, by returning the enclosed Compass proxy card in the accompanying prepaid reply envelope or may vote during the Compass special meeting via the Compass special meeting website. If your shares of Compass common stock are held in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should instruct your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares of Compass common stock using the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee. If your shares of Compass common stock are held through a Compass employee savings plan, you should instruct your plan trustee on how to vote your shares of Compass common stock using the instructions provided by your trustee.

If you are a stockholder of record of Compass, whether you vote by phone, the Internet or mail, you may change or revoke your vote before your proxy is voted at the Compass special meeting as described herein. You may do this in one of the following four ways: (1) by logging onto the Internet website specified on your Compass proxy card in the same manner you would to submit your proxy electronically or by calling the telephone number specified on your Compass proxy card, in each case, if you are eligible to do so; (2) by sending a notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of Compass; (3) by sending a completed Compass proxy card bearing a later date than your original Compass proxy card; or (4) by attending the Compass special meeting and voting via the Compass special meeting website. Please note that your attendance at the meeting will not alone serve to revoke your proxy; instead, you must vote your shares via the Compass special meeting website. If you choose any of the first three methods, you must take the described action
