 are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you participate in the Annual Meeting virtually and either vote during or abstain from voting or if you properly return a proxy by internet, by telephone, or by mail in advance of the Annual Meeting and do not revoke the proxy. Will my shares be voted if I don’t provide my proxy or instruction card? Registered Stockholders If your shares are registered in your name, your shares will not be voted or counted toward a quorum unless you provide a proxy by internet, by telephone, or by mail or vote online during the Annual Meeting. Beneficial Owners If you hold shares through an account with a broker, bank, or other nominee and you do not provide voting instructions, under the NASDAQ Global Select Market rules, your broker may vote your shares on routine matters only. The ratification of the appointment of KPMG (Proposal 3) is considered a routine matter, and your nominee can therefore vote your shares on that proposal even if you do not provide voting instructions. No other proposal is considered a routine matter, and your nominee cannot vote your shares on those proposals unless you provide voting instructions. Votes withheld by brokers, banks, and other nominees in the absence of voting instructions from a beneficial owner are referred to as “broker non-votes.”

For Proposal 1, the votes that stockholders cast “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the votes that stockholders cast “AGAINST” a director nominee to approve the election of each director nominee. Please also see the discussion of our “Majority Voting” provisions within the Report of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee on page 21. For each of Proposals 2, 3, and 4, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to approve the proposal. Proposal 2 is advisory and nonbinding, so the Board will review the voting results on these proposals and take the results into account when making future decisions regarding these matters. “Votes cast” exclude abstentions and broker non-votes. What is the effect of an abstention? A stockholder who abstains on some
