 where approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have no effect where approval of the proposal requires the shares voted “For” to exceed the shares voted “Against.”

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to such proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting but will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on any proposal at the Annual Meeting.

Failure to Vote

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by proxy in advance of the meeting, or vote at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

If you are a beneficial owner and do not instruct your broker, bank, or other agent how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker or nominee will still be able to vote your shares depends on whether the particular proposal is considered to be a routine matter under applicable rules. Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine” under applicable rules but not with respect to “non-routine” matters.Under applicable stock exchange rules and interpretations, “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported. Unless you provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker or nominee may NOT vote your shares on: the Amended and Restated Bylaws (Proposal 1), the election of directors (Proposal 2), the reverse stock split (Proposal 3), the Amendment to the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal 4), but you may vote your shares on the Appointment of Haynie and Company (Proposal No. 5).

Failure to Specify Vote

If you are a stockholder of record and return your proxy without specifying how the shares represented thereby are to be voted, the proxy will be voted (i) FORthe Amended and Restated Bylaws, (ii) FOR the
