 choices? Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name If you are a stockholder of record as of the Record Date and do not vote prior to the Annual Meeting online, by telephone, by completing and returning your WHITEproxy card, or during the Annual Meeting online, your shares will not be voted. If you return a signed and dated WHITEproxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable:

| • |     | “FOR” the election of the Board’s two nominees for director; and |

If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the individuals named as proxies, or their duly constituted substitutes acting at the Annual Meeting, will vote in accordance with their judgment on such matters. Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Nominee If you are a beneficial owner and do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker or nominee will still be able to vote your shares depends on whether the particular proposal is considered a “routine” matter. Brokers, banks, and other nominees generally can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine”matters. Proposal 1 is considered to be “non-routine,”meaning that your broker, bank or nominee may not vote your shares on this proposal in the absence of your voting instructions. These unvoted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.” Typically, Proposal 2 is considered to be a “routine” matter. Accordingly, typically, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee generally has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. However, to the extent that Mr. Mangless provides a blue proxy card or voting 12

instruction form to stockholders who hold their shares in “street name,” Proposal 2 included in this proxy statement will be a “non-routine”matter with respect to such stockholders, and brokers will not have discretionary voting authority to vote on either of the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting. If, however, Mr. Mangless does not provide a blue proxy card or voting instruction form to certain stockholders who hold their shares in “street name,” then Proposal 2 would be considered to be a “routine” matter with respect to those stockholders
