 directors are elected by plurality, abstentions will have no effect on its outcome. With regard to Proposal 2 and Proposal 3, abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of such proposals.

We believe that Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are considered non-routine matters under applicable rules. Accordingly, brokers or other nominees cannot vote on these proposals without instructions from beneficial owners.

We believe that, under applicable rules, Proposal 3 is considered a routine matter for which brokerage firms may vote shares that are held in the name of brokerage firms and which are not voted by the applicable beneficial owners. Accordingly, we do not expect to receive any broker non-votes with respect to Proposal 3.

Only votes “FOR” will affect the outcome of the vote on Proposal 1. As such, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on Proposal 1. With regard to Proposal 2, broker non-votes will be excluded from the vote and will have no effect on the outcome of such proposals.
