, in order for your shares to be voted, if you are a stockholder of record, you must either return the enclosed proxy card, authorize your proxy or voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet or vote at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, our directors and executive officers owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 1,747,822 shares of our Common Stock, entitling them to exercise approximately 4.3% of the total combined voting power of our Common Stock at the Special Meeting. Our directors and executive officers have informed us that they intend to vote the shares of our Common Stock that they own in favor of the Merger Proposal, in favor of the Advisory Compensation Proposal and in favor of the Adjournment Proposal, although they have no obligation to do so. Votes cast by proxy or at the Special Meeting will be counted by the person appointed by us to act as inspector of election for the Special Meeting. The inspector of election will also determine the number of shares of Common Stock represented at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy. How to Authorize a Proxy Holders of record of our Common Stock may vote or cause their shares to be voted by proxy using one of the following methods:

| • |     | mark, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card by mail; |

| • |     | authorize your proxy or voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet by following the instructions 
 included with your proxy card; or                                                                              |

| • |     | attend and vote at the Special Meeting. |

Regardless of whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we request that you authorize a proxy for your shares as described above as promptly as possible. Under NYSE rules, all of the proposals in this proxy statement are non-routinematters, so there can be no broker non-votesat the Special Meeting. A broker non-voteoccurs when shares held by a broker, bank or other nominee are represented at a meeting, but the broker, bank or other nominee has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to direct the voting of the shares on a particular proposal but has discretionary voting power on other proposals at such meeting. Accordingly, if you own Common Stock through a broker, bank or other nominee (i.e., in “street name”), you must provide voting instructions in accordance with the instructions on the voting instruction card that your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you, as brokers, banks and other nominees do not have discretionary voting authority
