| A: | The vote to approve the Advisory Compensation Proposal is a vote separate and apart from the vote to approve 
 the Merger Proposal. Approval of this proposal is not a condition to completion of the Merger. The           |

| vote on this proposal is an advisory vote only, and it is not binding on the Company or the Board. Further, the underlying arrangements are contractual in nature and not, by their terms, subject                                                  
 to stockholder approval. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the vote on the Advisory Compensation Proposal, if the Merger is completed, our named executive officers will be eligible to receive the compensation that may be paid or become 
 payable to them that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger.                                                                                                                                                                                |

| Q: | Do any of the Company’s directors and executive officers have any interest in the Merger that is 
 different than mine?                                                                             |

 addition to, those interests of our stockholders generally. See “The Merger-Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” for information about interests that our directors and executive officers have in the merger 
 that are different than yours.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
