| A quorum, which is a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the Record Date, must be present or represented by proxy in order to hold the Annual Meeting and to conduct business. As of the Record Date, 73,210,327 shares of common stock, representing the same number of votes, were outstanding. That means that we need the holders of at least 36,605,164 shares of common stock to be represented for us to have a quorum. Your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you attend the Annual Meeting in person. Your shares will be considered present and represented by proxy if you submit a properly executed proxy card or vote via the Internet or by telephone. Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote and so are included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. 
 If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, then either the chair of the Annual Meeting or the stockholders by vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting are authorized by our Bylaws to adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present or represented.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
