| ITEM 1. | ELECTION OF DIRECTORS |

The Company intends that the persons named as proxies on the proxy cards will vote FOR the election of the Board’s ten nominees if executed but unmarked proxies are returned (excluding broker non-votes). If any nominee should become unable to serve as a director prior to the Meeting, the shares represented by proxy cards that include directions to vote in favor of that nominee or that do not contain any other instructions (excluding broker non-votes) will be voted FOR the election of such other person as the Board may recommend.
