 the concerns that influenced the vote and consider our stockholders’ concerns, and our compensation committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. We believe that the information provided in the section titled “ Executive Compensation and Other Matters,” and in particular the information discussed in the section titled “ Executive Compensation and Other Matters – Executive Compensation Process,” demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management’s interests are aligned with our stockholders’ interests to support long-term value creation. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting: “RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion and other related disclosure.” Vote Required The approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present (including virtually) or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on this matter. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “against” this proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect. As an advisory vote, the result of this proposal is non-binding. Although the vote is non-binding, our Board and our compensation committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers. The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers. 25
