 Protection Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act. We also are conducting an advisory vote on the frequency of future votes on the compensation paid to our named executive officers at this Stockholder Meeting. See “Proposal 5: Advisory, Non-Binding Vote on the Frequency of Future Votes on the Compensation Paid to our Named Executive Officers.” THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ADVISORY, NON-BINDING RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. 23 TABLE OF CONTENTS PROPOSAL 5: ADVISORY, NON-BINDING VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Section 14A of the Exchange Act also allows our stockholders to express their preference on the frequency of future votes on the compensation paid to our named executive officers.

However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on our Board or the Company, the Board may decide that it is in the best interest of our stockholders and the Company to hold future advisory votes on the
