10 days before a meeting. Under the rules of the NYSE, none of the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting are considered “routine” matters except for the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditor (Proposal 5). That means that for those proposals that are considered “non- routine” matters, brokers may not vote your shares if you have not given your broker specific instructions as to how to vote, and your shares will not be represented in those matters. Brokers may only vote your shares for the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditor (Proposal 5). Please be sure to give specific voting instructions to your broker. On the record date, 98,404,024 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting. How to Vote Most stockholders can vote by proxy in three ways: • by Internet at www.proxyvote.com; • by telephone; or • by mail. If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote your shares by voting by Internet, telephone, mailing in your proxy or virtually at the Annual Meeting. You may give us your proxy by following the instructions included in the enclosed proxy card. By giving us your proxy, you will be directing us how to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan on attending the meeting, we urge you to vote now by giving us your proxy. This will ensure that your vote is represented at the meeting. If you do attend the meeting, you can change your vote at that time, if you then desire to do so. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, the methods by which you can access the proxy materials and give the voting instructions to the broker or nominee may vary. Accordingly, beneficial owners should follow the instructions provided by their brokers or nominees to vote by Internet, telephone or mail. If you want to vote your shares virtually at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker or nominee. You should contact your broker or nominee or refer to the instructions provided by your broker or nominee for further information. Additionally, the availability of Internet or telephone voting depends on the voting process used by the broker or nominee that holds your shares. You may receive more than one proxy statement and proxy card or voting instruction form if your shares are held through more than one account ( e.g. , through different brokers or nominees). Each proxy card or voting instruction form only covers those shares held in
