”matters. Proposal 1 is considered to be “non-routine,”meaning that your broker, bank or nominee may not vote your shares on this proposal in the absence of your voting instructions. These unvoted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.” Typically, Proposal 2 is considered to be a “routine” matter. Accordingly, typically, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee generally has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. However, to the extent that Mr. Mangless provides a blue proxy card or voting 12

instruction form to stockholders who hold their shares in “street name,” Proposal 2 included in this proxy statement will be a “non-routine”matter with respect to such stockholders, and brokers will not have discretionary voting authority to vote on either of the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting. If, however, Mr. Mangless does not provide a blue proxy card or voting instruction form to certain stockholders who hold their shares in “street name,” then Proposal 2 would be considered to be a “routine” matter with respect to those stockholders, and such stockholders’ broker, bank or other nominee would be able to vote upon the matter if the stockholders do not provide them with specific voting instructions.

What happens if I return a WHITE proxy card but give voting instructions for fewer than two candidates? An undervote is an instance in which a stockholder returns a proxy card in a director election contest but does not exercise a vote with respect to all the seats up for election at the Annual Meeting. To the extent an undervote ( i.e., voting “ FOR” with respect to fewer than the two nominees on Proposal 1) occurs on a record holder’s WHITEproxy card, the shares will only be voted “ FOR” that nominee so marked. If you are a beneficial holder and you vote “ FOR” fewer than two nominees on your WHITEvoting instruction form ( i.e., an undervote), your votes on the election of directors will only be voted “ FOR” the nominee you have so marked. What happens if I return a WHITE proxy card but give voting instructions for more than two candidates? An overvote is an instance in which
