 Proxy Statement   | 105 |

Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting, Proxy Solicitation, and Voting Information Stockholders are encouraged to submit their votes on the WHITEproxy card or WHITEvoting instruction form. If Vision One withdraws or abandons its solicitation or fails to comply with the universal proxy rules after a stockholder has already granted proxy authority, stockholders can still sign and date a later submitted WHITEproxy card or WHITEvoting instruction form.

What is the effect of broker non-votes? A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker lacks discretionary authority to vote on a “non-routine” proposal and a beneficial owner fails to give the broker voting instructions on that matter. The rules of the NYSE determine whether matters presented at the Annual Meeting are “routine” or “non-routine” in nature. Proposals 1, 2 and 4 are considered “non-routine” matters. This means that beneficial owners who hold their shares in street name must provide voting instructions to their broker in order for their broker to vote their shares on these matters. In contrast, Proposal 3 is normally considered a “routine” matter under the rules of the NYSE and would normally be the only proposal at the Annual Meeting with respect to which your broker could vote your shares absent your instructions, which
