 a bank or broker on a person’s behalf. AM I ENTITLED TO VOTE IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET NAME”? Yes. If your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, broker dealer or other nominee holder, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, our proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction card if you received printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. You may not vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank, broker dealer or other nominee holder. If you haven’t received a 16-digit control number, you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. If your shares are held in “street name” by a bank, brokerage firm, broker dealer or other nominee holder and you wish to vote on the election of Directors and Say on Pay proposals, or to act upon any other non-routine business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, you should provide instructions to your bank, brokerage firm, broker dealer or other nominee holder. Under the rules of the Nasdaq, if you do not provide your broker with instructions, your broker generally will have the authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of EY Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. All other matters at the Annual Meeting are expected to be nonroutine and therefore brokers will not be entitled to vote on a beneficial owner’s behalf without voting instructions or discretionary authority on such matters. Further information on how to vote is outlined in the following sections. HOW MANY SHARES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE ANNUAL MEETING? A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting, electronically or by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum. Pursuant to our by-laws, a quorum, once established at a meeting will not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum
