What happens if I return a WHITE proxy card but give voting instructions for more than five (5) candidates?

An overvote is an instance in which a stockholder returns a proxy card in a director election contest but exercises a vote “FOR” more than the available seats up for election at the Annual Meeting. To the extent an overvote ( i.e., voting “FOR” with respect to more than the five (5) nominees on Proposal 1) occurs on a record holder’s WHITEproxy card, such votes on the election of directors will be invalid and will not be counted. If you are a beneficial holder and you vote “FOR” more than five (5) nominees on your WHITEvoting instruction form ( i.e., an overvote), your votes on the election of directors will be invalid and will not be counted. In addition, depending on the broker, bank or other nominee through which you hold your shares, your votes on all other proposals before the Annual Meeting may also be invalid and not counted.
