 corporate governance and as required by Section 14A(a)(1) of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to approve a non-binding advisory resolution on our named executive officer compensation as reported in this Proxy Statement.

The following proposal, commonly known as a “say on pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (NEOs). This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or the compensation of any particular officer, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and our compensation philosophy, policies and practices, as discussed in this Proxy Statement.

Before you vote, we recommend that you read the Executive Compensation section of this Proxy Statement for additional details on our executive compensation.

This vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on us, the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, our Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and intend to take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.
