Broker Non-Votes

“Broker Non-Votes” are votes that are not cast by a broker, bank or other nominee (the “Broker”) on a non-routine matter because the shares entitled to cast the vote are held in “street name”, the Broker lacks discretionary authority to vote the shares and the Broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Proposal 1 is a non-routine matter. As a result, if you hold shares of Common Stock in street name, your Broker will not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to Proposal 1.

Accordingly, if you are a Stockholder and you do not vote or give your Broker specific instructions on how to vote for you, your shares will have no effect on the result of Proposal 1.It is imperative that Stockholders vote or provide instructions to their Brokers as to how to vote with respect to Proposal 1 to ensure proper representation at the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 2 is a routine matter. As a result, if you beneficially own shares of Common Stock and you do not vote or provide your Broker with proxy instructions, your Broker will be able to vote your shares for you on Proposal 2 in its discretion.

Adjournment and Additional Solicitation

If there appears not to be enough votes to approve a proposal at the Annual Meeting, the chairman of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies.

A Stockholder vote may be taken on any of the proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval of such proposal.

<div align='center'>Information Regarding This Solicitation</div>

We will bear the expense of the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the cost of preparing and posting this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to the Internet and the cost of mailing the Notice of Annual Meeting, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and any requested proxy materials to the Stockholders. We intend to use the services of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of investor communications solutions, to aid in the distribution and collection of proxy votes. We expect to pay market rates for such services. If brokers, trustees or fiduciaries and other institutions holding shares in their own names or in the names of their nominee, which shares are beneficially owned by others, forward the Proxy Statement and proxy card to, and obtain proxies from, such beneficial owners, we will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses in so doing.
