See “How many votes are needed to approve each Proposal?” The presence in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of shares of common stock entitled to cast one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. Holders of shares of common stock represented by a properly signed, dated and returned proxy will be treated as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. Proxies relating to "street name" shares that are voted by brokers will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be treated as votes cast at the Annual Meeting as to any proposal as to which the brokers do not have voting instructions and discretion. These missing votes are known as “broker non-votes.” QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING Why am I receiving these materials?
