 Class II directors (Proposal 1) and both the advisory votes on executive compensation (Proposal 2) and the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation (Proposal 3) are non-routine matters on which brokers will not be permitted to vote any uninstructed shares. The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (Proposal 4) is a routine matter on which brokers will be permitted to vote any uninstructed shares in their discretion.

#### Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:

• Written notice to our Corporate Secretary;

• Timely delivery of a valid, later-dated proxy or a later-dated vote by telephone or on the Internet; or

• Voting virtually at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you should follow the instructions of your bank, broker, or other nominee to change or revoke your voting instructions.

#### What is a broker non-vote?
A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at their discretion. Under current NYSE interpretations that govern broker non-votes, Proposal Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are considered non-routine matters, and a broker will lack the authority to vote uninstructed shares at their discretion on such proposals. Proposal No. 4 is considered a routine matter, and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares on the proposal.

#### What constitutes a quorum at the Annual Meeting?
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present or represented by proxy to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. You will be considered part of the quorum if you return a signed and dated proxy card, if you vote by telephone or Internet, or if you attend the Annual Meeting virtually.
