 name reside, unless we have received contrary instructions from those shareholders. This process is called “householding.” This reduces duplicate mailings and saves printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. The proxy materials and other shareholder communications may be householded based on your prior express or implied consent. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

If you wish to opt out of householding, and would like to have separate copies of the proxy materials mailed to each shareholder sharing your address, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive a single copy, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., by calling 1-866-540-7095 or by writing Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Broadridge will promptly deliver the requested materials. Beneficial owners (street name shareholders) sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials, and other shareholder communications and who wish to receive a single copy of such materials in the future will need to contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request that only a single copy of such materials be mailed to all shareholders at the shared address in the future. However, please note that if you want to receive a paper proxy card or other proxy materials for purposes of this year’s meeting, you should follow the instructions included in the information that was sent to you.
