 Meeting at which a quorum is present, and the approving majority also must represent more than 25% of our outstanding shares. If a nominee who currently is serving as a director does not receive sufficient “FOR” votes to be reelected, the director will cease to be a director not later than 90 days following the certification of the election results, and the resulting vacancy on the board may be filled by the remaining directors. If a nominee receives sufficient “FOR” votes, he or she will be reelected to serve until our next annual shareholders meeting and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

| The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the 11 nominees named in this proxy statement for election to the board on Proposal 1. |
