VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ RECOMMENDATION

According to the Company’s bylaws, each director nominee in an uncontested election of directors must be elected by a majority of the votes cast (in other words, the number of votes cast “FOR” the nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee). Abstentions, failures to vote and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the director elections. Under the Company’s bylaws and Corporate Governance Principles, if a director does not receive the requisite majority vote in an uncontested election, such director will be required to promptly tender their resignation for consideration by the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee (the “NESG Committee”) of the Board of Directors. See “ Policies Relating to the Election of Directors ” below.
