Voting at the Annual Meeting

The method by which you vote
and authorize your proxy will in no way limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you later decide to vote electronically during
the Annual Meeting via webcast. If you hold your shares in street name, you must obtain a proxy executed in your favor from your nominee
(such as your bank or broker) to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Quorum for the Annual Meeting

A quorum will be present at the
Annual Meeting if a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast are present, either in person by attending the Annual Meeting via webcast
or by proxy. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, we expect that the Annual Meeting will be postponed or adjourned to solicit
additional proxies.
