Proposal One

Vote Required and Board’s Recommendation

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that the nominees receiving the highest number of "FOR" votes will be elected to the Board, up to the number of directors to be chosen. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the election. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote beneficial owners’ shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote, a broker non-vote will occur. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on this proposal. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal for each nominee.
