Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

Under the Dodd‑Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd‑Frank Act”), we are providing our stockholders with an opportunity to make a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. Pursuant to the Dodd‑Frank Act, the stockholder vote on the frequency of the stockholder vote to approve executive compensation is an advisory vote only, and it is not binding on us or our Board of Directors. This non-binding advisory vote must be submitted to stockholders at least once every six years.

After careful consideration, our Board of Directors recommends that future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers be held every year so that stockholders may express annually their views on our executive compensation program.

Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board of Directors’ recommendation. Instead, stockholders may indicate their preference regarding the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers by selecting “ONE YEAR,” “TWO YEARS” or “THREE YEARS.” Stockholders that do not have a preference regarding the frequency of future advisory votes may “ABSTAIN” from voting on the proposal.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of holding future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.

Required Vote

You have four choices for voting on this proposal. You can choose whether future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers should be conducted every “ONE YEAR,” “TWO YEARS,” or “THREE YEARS.” Under the rules issued by the SEC, you may also “ABSTAIN” from voting. The frequency that receives the greatest number of votes cast by stockholders on this matter at the meeting will be deemed to be the preferred frequency option of our stockholders. Broker non‑votes will have no effect on this proposal as they are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose. This proposal is
