Anti-Takeover Provisions

Our certificate
of incorporation and bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and to discourage
certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of our Company. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change in control or other unsolicited
acquisition proposal, and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a merger
or acquisition of our Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the
shares of Common Stock held by stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of shares that are authorized and available for issuance. However, the
listing requirements of the NYSE which would apply so long as the shares of our Common Stock remain listed on the NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or the then
outstanding number of shares of our Common Stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital and to facilitate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.

Our board of directors may generally issue shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock on terms designed to discourage, delay or prevent a
change of control of us or the removal of our management. Moreover, our authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock will be available for future issuances in one or more series without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety
of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the
existence of authorized and unissued and unreserved Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an
attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly
