What are the effects of abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes? An abstention represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. If a stockholder indicates on its proxy card that it wishes to abstain from voting its shares or withholds votes as to a particular proposal, or if a broker, bank or other nominee holding its customer’s shares of record causes abstentions or withheld votes to be recorded for shares, these shares will be considered present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. As a result, abstentions and withheld votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will count as votes against Proposal No. 2; however, since abstentions and withheld votes are not counted as shares cast, they will have no impact on the outcome of Proposal No. 1. A broker non-voteoccurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to such proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-voteswill be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes present and entitled to vote or votes cast. Therefore, a broker non-votewill make a quorum more readily attainable but will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on any proposal. As a reminder, if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker,
