Vote Required

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present virtually or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon such that the nominees receiving the most “ FOR” votes in favor of their election will be elected as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Recommendation

<div align='center'>Our Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the nominees named above (Proposal No. 1 on the proxy card).</div>
