Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We and our directors (including our director nominees), as well as other persons who solicit proxies on our behalf are considered to be “participants” in this proxy solicitation under applicable SEC regulations. Please refer to Annex A, Supplemental Information Regarding Participants in the Company’s Solicitation of Proxies, for information about our directors (including our director nominees) as well as information about certain of our executive officers and other employees who may solicit proxies on our behalf. Other than the persons described in Annex A, none of our employees will be employed to solicit proxies. However, in the course of their regular duties, employees may be asked to perform clerical or ministerial tasks in furtherance of our solicitation of proxies. For example, in addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employeesmay solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

We have retained Sodali & Co to aid in the solicitation of proxies and related advisory services, for a fee of up to approximately $300,000, plus reimbursement of expenses. We may incur additional fees if we request additional services. Sodali & Co estimates that
