 writing, submitting a proxy dated later than your original proxy, or attending and voting at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares indirectly in an account at a bank, brokerage firm, broker-dealer or nominee, you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”. You will receive all proxy materials directly from your bank, brokerage firm, broker-dealer or nominee and you must either direct them as to how to vote your shares or obtain from them a proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. Please refer to the notice of internet availability of proxy materials or the voter instruction form used by your bank, brokerage firm, broker-dealer or nominee for specific instructions on methods of voting. If you fail to give your bank, brokerage firm, broker-dealer or nominee specific instructions on how to vote your shares with respect to Proposals 1 or 2, that organization will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on the matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote”.Broker non-voteswill have no effect on the outcome of these matters. It is important for every shareholder’s vote to be counted on these matters so we encourage you to provide your bank, brokerage firm, broker-dealer or nominee with voting instructions. If you fail to give your bank, brokerage firm, broker-dealer or nominee specific instructions on how to vote your shares on Proposal 3, your bank, brokerage firm, broker-dealer or nominee will generally be able to vote on Proposal 3 as he, she or it determines.
