#### Vote Required and the Recommendation of the Board
The vote of a plurality of all of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, assuming a quorum is present, is necessary for the election of each Class III director. Therefore, the two nominees for director receiving the most “FOR” votes will be elected. For purposes of the election of directors, withheld votes and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

### THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS

#### A VOTE “FOR” ALL DIRECTOR NOMINEES.
