WILL OTHER CANDIDATES BE NOMINATED FOR ELECTION AS DIRECTORS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING IN OPPOSITION TO THE BOARD’S NOMINEES? Yes. Daniel J. Mangless has notified the Company that he intends to nominate two nominees (the “Mangless Nominees”) for election as directors at the Annual Meeting in opposition to the two Class I director nominees recommended by our Board. The Board does not endorse any of the Mangless Nominees. If you have previously submitted a blue proxy card sent to you by Mr. Mangless, you have every right to change your vote and we strongly urge you to revoke that proxy by voting for the Board’s nominees and on the other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting by using the enclosed WHITEproxy card and returning it in the postage-paidreturn envelope. Only your latest dated proxy will be counted. Even if you would like to elect one or both of the Mangless Nominees, we strongly recommend you use the Company’s WHITEproxy card to do so. IS THE COMPANY USING A UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD IN CONNECTION WITH VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING? Yes. SEC rules require the use of a universal proxy card in contested director elections. These universal proxy rules are applicable to the Annual Meeting. The Board’s nominees and the Mangless Nominees will be included on the universal proxy card. Each of the Company and Mr. Mangless will use its own version of a universal proxy card containing the names of both the Board’s nominees and the Mangless Nominees. Although the Company is required to include all nominees for election on its universal proxy card, the Company does NOT endorse any of the Mangless Nominees and strongly recommends you use the Company’s WHITEproxy card to vote. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” OUR BOARD’S NOMINEES LISTED ON THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD. The Board strongly urges you to discard and NOT to sign or return any blue proxy card sent to you by Mr. Mangless. Even if you would like to elect one or both of the Mangless Nominees, we
