 the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm. Where a proposal is not “routine,” an organization that has not received instructions from its clients does not have discretion to vote its clients’ uninstructed shares on that proposal, and the unvoted shares are referred to as “broker non-votes.”The other proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting, including the election of directors and the approval of the Amendment to the Stock Plan, are considered non-routinematters, and therefore brokers, banks and other nominees cannot exercise discretionary authority regarding those proposals for beneficial owners who have not returned instructions to them. What Is a Quorum? A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Because the two nominees for director who receive the greatest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors and because “withhold” votes and broker non-votesare not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, “withhold” votes and broker non-voteswill not affect the outcome of the voting on director elections. 5
