 other business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in, and provided the information and certifications required by, our bylaws; and                                                                                         |

 meeting may be brought before the special meeting of stockholders, and nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only: |

| • |     | by or at the direction of our board of directors; or |

| • |     | provided that the meeting has been called in accordance with our bylaws for the purpose of electing directors, by                                                                                                                                      
 a stockholder who is a stockholder of record at the record date set by our board of directors for the meeting, at the time of giving of the notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting (and any postponement or adjustment thereof), 
 who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the advance notice provisions set forth in, and provided the information and certifications required by, our bylaws.                  |

The purpose of requiring stockholders to give advance notice of nominations and other proposals is to afford our board of directors and our stockholders the opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees 13

or the advisability of the other proposals and, to the extent considered necessary by our board of directors, to inform stockholders and make recommendations regarding the nominations or other
proposals. Although our bylaws do not give our board of directors the power to disapprove timely stockholder nominations and proposals, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or proposals for other
action if the proper procedures are not followed, and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors to our board of directors or to approve its own proposal.
