• by granting a subsequent proxy through the Internet or telephone;

• by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting; or

• by voting electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting.

Your most recent proxy card or telephone or Internet proxy is the one that is counted. Your participation in the virtual Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company before your proxy is voted or you vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in street name, you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank or broker, or you may vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting by following the instructions above.

#### Who will count the votes?
A representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our inspector of election, will tabulate and certify the votes.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. The Board’s recommendations are indicated on page 3 of this proxy statement, as well as with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement.

How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?
