 in “street name” and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, then your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote your Gryphon shares during the Special Meeting and your shares will not be considered present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum. Q:What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote? A:Signed and dated proxies received by Gryphon without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “ FOR” each proposal presented to the stockholders. The proxy holders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the Special Meeting. Q:If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting, should I return my proxy card instead? A:Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage -paidenvelope provided. Q:If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me? A:No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non -routinematters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. Gryphon believes that each of the Proposals is non -routineand therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting. A so called “broker non -vote” will result if your broker, bank or other nominee returns a proxy but does not provide instruction as to how shares should be voted on a particular matter. Because the Proposals are non -discretionaryproposals, it is not expected that there will be any broker non -votesat the Special Meeting. Q:What are broker non -votes and do they count for determining a quorum? A:Generally, a “broker non -vote” occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from its clients with respect to such shares on how to vote and does not have or did not exercise discretionary authority to vote on the matter. Gryphon does not believe that any of the Proposals are “routine” matters for which brokers have discretionary
