. We believe that each director nominee will be able to stand for election. All nominees have consented to be named and have indicated their intent to serve if elected. If any nominee becomes unable to stand for election, proxies in favor of that nominee will be voted in favor of any substitute nominee named by the Board. If you do not wish your shares to be voted for one or more of the nominees, you may so indicate when you vote by withholding your vote for the particular nominee. The persons named in the enclosed proxy card intend to vote the proxy for the election of each of the ten nominees, unless you indicate on the proxy card that your vote should be withheld from any of the nominees. Biographies for each director nominee are set forth below. Except as listed in their biographies, no director has served as a director of a publicly traded company or a registered investment company in the past five years. The Company’s Bylaws require majority voting in uncontested elections of directors. Accordingly, a nominee for director is only elected if the number of votes cast “FOR” the nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee’s election at a meeting at which a quorum is present in person or represented by proxy. Shares that are not voted in the election of directors, including abstentions and broker non-votes, have no direct effect in the election of directors. Those shares, however, are taken into account in determining whether a sufficient number of shares are present to establish a quorum. The Board has adopted a director resignation policy (the “Policy”) in the event that an incumbent director fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election in an uncontested election. The Policy requires that a director who fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election in an uncontested election will tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the resignation and make a recommendation to the Board concerning its acceptance or rejection. In doing so, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant, including, but not limited to, the stated reason why stockholders voted against the director’s re-election, the director’s qualifications, and whether the director’s resignation would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board will then consider information, factors, and alternatives considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in making its ultimate decision of whether to accept or reject the director
