reganproxy.com. What happens if I return a BLUEproxy card but give voting instructions for fewer than two candidates? An undervote is an instance in which a stockholder returns a proxy card in a director election contest but does not exercise a vote with respect to all the seats up for election at the Annual Meeting. To the extent an undervote (i.e., voting “ FOR” with respect to fewer than the two nominees on Proposal 1) occurs on a record holder’s BLUEuniversal proxy card, your shares will only be voted “ FOR” the nominee you marked. What happens if I return a BLUEproxy card but give voting instructions for more than two candidates? An overvote is an instance in which a stockholder returns a proxy card in a director election contest but exercises a vote “ FOR” more than the available seats up for election at the Annual Meeting. To the extent an overvote (i.e., voting “ FOR” with respect to more than the two nominees on Proposal 1) occurs on a record holder’s BLUEuniversal proxy card your votes on the election of directors will be invalid and will not be counted. If you are a beneficial holder and you vote “ FOR” more than two nominees on your BLUEuniversal proxy card (i.e., an overvote), your votes on the election of directors will be invalid and will not be counted. In addition, depending on the broker, bank, or other nominee through which you hold your shares, your votes on all other proposals before the Annual Meeting may also be invalid and not counted. What is the required quorum? A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present at the meeting virtually or represented by proxy. Abstentions, withhold votes, and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?
