 in person at the annual meeting, your shares will not be voted. Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other agent how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other agent may still be able to vote your shares in its discretion. In this regard, under stock exchange rules, brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters considered to be “routine” under such rules, but not with respect to “non-routine”matters. Proposals 1 and 2 are considered to be “non-routine”under such rules, meaning that your broker may not vote your shares on this proposal in the absence of your voting instructions. However, Proposals 3 and 4 are considered to be “routine” under such rules, meaning that if you do not return voting instructions to your broker by its deadline, your shares may be voted by your broker in its discretion on Proposals 3 and 4. What if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices? If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable:

| • |     | “For” the election of all nominees for director; |

| • |     | “For” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement; |

| • |     | “For” the approval of a series of alternate amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the option of the Board of Directors, a Reverse Stock Split at a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-30, inclusive, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. |

If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment. 3
