 to use in directing the broker, bank or other nominee in how to vote your shares. You should follow the instructions provided by them to vote your shares. You are invited to attend the special meeting, and you may cast your vote virtually at the special meeting by following the instructions at www.proxydocs.com/BRDG. Q: If my shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, will my broker, bank or other nominee vote my shares for me? If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares.

Q: What if I fail to vote or abstain? For purposes of the special meeting, an abst
