Required Vote

A director nominee shall be elected to the Board if the number of votes cast “FOR” such director nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST” such director nominee’s election. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to any director nominee will have no effect as they are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose. This proposal is considered to be a non-routine proposal on which a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote.

| The Board of Directors recommends a vote“FOR”the election of each of the seven director nominees: Eliav Barr, Muna Bhanji, Karin Eastham, Jens Holstein, Tom Miller, Brent Shafer and Marc Stapley. |

Director Nominations

The Board of Directors has as an objective that its membership be composed of experienced and dedicated individuals with diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and skills. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the responsibility to identify, evaluate, recruit and recommend qualified candidates to the Board of Directors for appointment, nomination or election.
