 compensation. Your bank or broker is unable to vote your uninstructed shares in the election of directors or with respect to the advisory proposal regarding executive compensation. Therefore, if you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank or broker how to vote in the election of directors or with respect to the advisory proposal regarding executive compensation, no votes will be cast on your behalf. These are referred to as “broker non-votes.” Your bank or broker, however, will continue to have discretion to vote any uninstructed shares on the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. If you are a shareholder of record and you do not cast your vote, no votes will be cast on your behalf on any of the items of business at the annual meeting. How We Count Votes .If you return valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, we will count your shares to determine whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting. Broker non-votes also will be counted to determine the existence of a quorum. In the election of directors, votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election. In counting votes on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm and the advisory resolution regarding executive compensation, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposals. Voting by Proxy The Board is sending you this proxy statement for the purpose of requesting that you allow your shares of our common stock to be represented at the annual meeting by the designated proxies named by the Board. All shares of our common stock represented at the meeting by properly executed and dated proxies will be voted according to the instructions indicated on the proxy card. If you sign, date, and return a proxy card without giving voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board. The Board recommends a vote:

| ● | “FOR” each of the nominees for director;                                                                               |
| ● | “FOR” the ratification of Crowe LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and                |
| ● | “FOR” the approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. |

If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the annual meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will use their own best judgment as to how to vote your shares. This includes a motion to adjourn or postpone the annual meeting in order to solicit additional proxies
