What will happen if I do not vote my shares?

Stockholder of Record:
Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are the stockholder of record of your shares and you do not vote by proxy card, by telephone, via
the Internet, or virtually at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner:
Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank. Brokers or other nominees who hold shares of our common stock or preferred stock for
a beneficial owner in street name have the discretion to vote on routine proposals when they have not received voting instructions from
the beneficial owner at least ten (10) days prior to the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee does
not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to direct the voting of the shares. Under the
rules that govern brokers that are voting shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote those shares on routine matters
but not on non-routine matters. Proposal 5 is the only routine matter in this Proxy Statement. Therefore, your broker has the discretion
to vote your shares on Proposal 5 but does not have the discretion to vote your shares on Proposals 1, 2, 3, or 4.

We encourage you to provide
instructions to your bank or brokerage firm by voting on your proxy. This action ensures your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting
in accordance with your wishes.
