 voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at their discretion. Under current NYSE interpretations that govern broker non-votes, Proposal Nos. 1 and 3 are considered non-discretionary matters, and a broker will lack the authority to vote uninstructed shares at their discretion on such proposals. Broker non-votes will not impact the outcome of Proposal Nos. 1 or 3.

Accordingly, we do not expect any broker non-votes with respect to Proposal No. 2.
