 prior to the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting (subject to certain exceptions). Any notice by a stockholder must be delivered, accompanied by certain information, as provided in the Bylaws.

The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that a Maryland corporation that has a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act and
has at least three directors that are not officers or employees of the corporation nor acquiring persons or directors, officers, affiliates, or associates of an acquiring person, can elect to be subject to certain corporate governance provisions
that may be inconsistent with the corporation’s charter or bylaws. Under the applicable statute, if so elected, a board of directors may classify itself without the vote of stockholders. Further, under the applicable statute if so elected, the
board of directors may, by electing into applicable statutory provisions and notwithstanding the charter or bylaws, (i) reserve for itself the right to fix the number of directors; (ii) retain for itself sole authority to fill vacancies
created by an increase in the size of the board of directors or the death, removal or resignation of a director; and (iii) provide that all vacancies on the board of directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
remaining directors, in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. Any Director elected to fill such vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the unexpired term and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.
A board of directors may implement all or any of these provisions without stockholder approval. A corporation may be prohibited by its charter or by resolution of its board of directors from electing any of the provisions of the statute. MUE is not
prohibited from implementing any or all of the statute and, pursuant to MUE’s Bylaws and charter, MUE has elected to be subject to such provisions of the statute such that MUE’s Board is classified and all vacancies on the Board resulting
from an increase in the size of the Board or the death, resignation or removal of a Director, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors, even if the remaining Directors do not constitute a quorum. That
election does not limit the power of MUE to confer on the holders of a class or series of Preferred Stock the right to elect one or more Directors pursuant to a provision in its charter.
