 when there is meaningful support for the meeting among the Company’s stockholders while providing stockholders with an important right to strengthen Board and management accountability.

The Company also believes that 25% ownership threshold in proposal four aligns with corporate governance practices among S&P 500 companies and that introducing a stockholder special meeting right with a 10% threshold is unnecessary in light of the Company’s current governance practices. These strong governance features include:

• independent Board Chair, independent Board (except for CEO) and independent Board committees;

• annual election of directors;

• majority vote and director resignation policy for directors;

• annual Board and Committee self-evaluations, including periodic individual director evaluations;

• limits on public company board and audit committee service;

• regular executive sessions of independent directors, generally at each Board and Committee meeting;

• no supermajority voting provisions; and

• proxy access rights for stockholders.

Given these considerations around the Company’s corporate governance framework, including management’s proposal to enable the adoption of a stockholder special meeting right with a 25% ownership threshold, the Board believes that this proposal is unnecessary and not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

#### Vote Required; Board Recommendation
The affirmative vote of a majority of the common stock held by persons who are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal is required for approval of this advisory stockholder proposal. For purposes of determining approval of this proposal, abstentions will have the same effect as an “against” vote because they will be treated as representing shares that were present and entitled to vote. In addition, broker non-votes will have no effect on this determination because this proposal is considered a “non-routine” matter under the NYSE rules and therefore brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.
