Difference Between a “Stockholder of Record” and a Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in “Street Name”

Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, then you are considered the “stockholder of record” of those shares. In this case, your printed proxy materials have been sent to you directly by us. You may vote your shares by proxy prior to the Special Meeting by following the instructions provided with your proxy materials and on your proxy card.

The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization as to how to vote the shares held in your account by following the instructions contained on the voting instruction card provided to you by that organization.
