Voting in-person. Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted in person at the annual meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person only if you obtain and submit a legal proxy from the broker, bank, or other holder of record that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Additional meeting matters. We do not expect any matters to be presented for a vote at the meeting other than the matters described in this proxy statement. If you grant a proxy, either of the officers named as proxy holder, Todd Wilson or Sarah Mussetter, or their nominee(s) or substitute(s), will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters that are properly presented for a vote at the meeting. If a nominee is not available as a candidate for director, the person named as the proxy holder will vote your proxy for another candidate nominated by our Board of Directors. VOTES REQUIRED FOR EACH PROPOSAL The following five proposals will be presented at the annual meeting for your vote. Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR all the director nominees in Proposal 1, and FOR Proposals 2,
