#### Will my shares be counted if I do not vote?
Your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting if you are the shareholder of record and you do not vote before the Annual Meeting by proxy card, or via the Internet, or during the Annual Meeting, in person or virtually via the Internet.

What if I return my proxy card but do not provide voting instructions?

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will not be counted for the purpose of determining the number of votes cast on a given proposal. If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, the proxy will exercise discretion on whether to vote and, if so, how.

#### Who is paying the expenses of solicitation?
The Board of Directors is making this solicitation, and the Company will pay the cost of preparing and distributing the proxy materials and soliciting votes. If you choose to access the proxy materials over the Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges that you may incur. Our officers, directors, and employees may, without compensation other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies through further mailings, personal conversations, facsimile transmissions, emails, or otherwise. We will also pay proxy solicitation expenses for preparation, mailing, returning, and tabulating the proxies.

Shareholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our next annual general meeting of shareholders by submitting their
