How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count, for the Proposal No. 1 to elect directors, votes “For,” “Withhold” and broker non-votes, and with respect to the Proposal No. 2 for the ratification of independent auditors and Proposal No. 3 for the Reverse Stock Split and corresponding Authorized Share Reduction, votes “For,” “Against” and abstentions. For Proposal No. 1, broker non-votes will have no effect and will not be counted toward the vote total for any of the director nominees. For Proposal No. 2 and 3, abstentions will be counted and will have the same effect as “Against” votes.

What are “broker non-votes”?

As discussed above, when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed by the NYSE to be “non-routine,” the broker or nominee cannot vote the shares. These unvoted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.”

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

The following table summarizes the minimum vote needed to approve each proposal and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes.
