 right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account.

Who counts the votes?

Our independent inspector of elections, First Coast Results, Inc.,
will tabulate the votes cast by each proxy and in person at the Annual Meeting.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is your legal appointment of another person to vote the shares
of Company stock that you own in accordance with your instructions. The person you appoint to vote your shares also is called a proxy.
You can vote your shares via the internet or by telephone. If you received these proxy materials by mail, you can also vote by mail or
telephone using the GOLDproxy card enclosed with these materials.

The Company encourages you to use the GOLDproxy card, where
you will find the names of the persons designated by the Company to act as proxies to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. The proxies
are required to vote your shares in the manner you instruct.

What shares are included on my proxy card?

If you are a registered stockholder, your GOLDproxy card will
show the shares of Company stock registered in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, on the Record Date. If you have shares
registered in the name of a bank, broker or other registered owner or nominee, they will not appear on your GOLDproxy card.

What is an undervote and overvote and how does each impact the universal proxy card?

An undervote is a circumstance in which a stockholder returns a universal
proxy card in a director election contest but does not exercise a vote with respect to all four seats up for election at the Annual Meeting.
If an undervote (i.e., voting “FOR” with respect to fewer than four nominees on Proposal 1) occurs on a record holder’s
proxy card, your shares will only be voted as marked. No discretionary authority is available to vote shares represented by an undervoted
proxy card for the remaining director seats up for election.

An overvote means a circumstance in which a stockholder returns a universal
proxy card in a director election contest but marks “FOR” votes for more than the four seats up for election at the Annual
Meeting. If an overvote (i.e., voting “FOR” with respect to more than four nominees on Proposal 1) occurs on a universal proxy
card, the votes submitted on such proxy card with respect to Proposal 1 will be invalidated and not counted.
