<div align='center'>PROPOSAL 3:

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION</div>

This advisory vote on executive compensation, referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote, gives shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K. Shareholders may vote for or against the approval of the Company’s executive compensation, or they may abstain from voting on this proposal.

The primary objectives in designing our executive compensation program are to attract, retain and motivate the talent needed to lead and grow the Company, reward successful performance and more closely align executives’ interests with those of the Company and its shareholders. The ultimate objective of our compensation program is to improve the intrinsic value of the Company and long-term shareholder value.

We encourage you to review the compensation tables and the narrative disclosures on compensation in this Proxy Statement. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that our executive compensation program is effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving its goals.

The Company requests shareholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC
