 will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Proposal. The approval of the Advisory Compensation Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the respective proposal. If you fail to authorize a proxy to vote your shares or vote at the Special Meeting, or fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote, it will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by delivery of a properly executed, later-dated proxy card, by authorizing your proxy or voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet at a later date than your previously authorized proxy, by submitting a written revocation of your proxy to our Corporate Secretary, or by voting at the Special Meeting. Attendance at the Special Meeting alone will not be sufficient to revoke a previously authorized proxy. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, because shares of our Common Stock were listed on the New York Stock Exchange at the close of business on the record date, you do not have any appraisal rights, dissenters’ rights or the rights of an objecting stockholder in connection with the merger. We encourage you to read the accompanying proxy statement in its entirety and to submit a proxy or voting instructions so that your shares will be represented and voted even if you do not attend the Special Meeting. If you have any questions or need assistance in submitting a proxy or your voting instructions, please call our proxy solicitor, [●] toll-free at [●].
