Quorum

In order for us to hold our Meeting, holders of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting must be present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum.

Routine and Non-Routine Matters; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) permits brokers to vote their customers’ shares held in street name on certain routine matters when the brokers have not received voting instructions from their customers. The NYSE does not, however, allow brokers to vote their customers’ shares held in street name on non-routine matters unless they have received voting instructions from their customers. In such cases, the uninstructed shares that the broker is unable to vote are called “broker non-votes.”

Abstentions and “broker non-votes,” to the extent any, will be considered as present for quorum purposes, have no legal effect and will not be counted in the votes “for” or “against” a resolution.

Vote Required for Each Resolution

Subject to disenfranchisement in accordance with applicable law and/or the Company’s Articles of Association, each of the resolutions shall be decided on a poll in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association whereby each shareholder of record present in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote for every share held.
