How do I vote?
You can vote in the following ways:
•By Mail: If you are a holder of record, you can vote by marking, dating and signing the
appropriate proxy card and returning it by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you
beneficially own your common shares, you can vote by following the instructions on your voting
instruction card.
•By Internet or Telephone: you can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the
instructions on the proxy card, voting instruction card or in the Notice of internet availability of
proxy materials previously sent to you. You can vote using a touchtone telephone by calling
1-800-690-6903.
•At the Annual General Meeting: If you are planning to attend the Annual General Meeting and
wish to vote your common shares in person, we will give you a ballot at the meeting.
Shareholders who own their common shares in street name are not able to vote at the Annual
General Meeting unless they have a proxy, executed in their favor, from the holder of record of
their shares.
Even if you plan to be present at the Annual General Meeting, we encourage you to complete and
mail the enclosed card to vote your common shares by proxy. Telephone and Internet voting facilities
for stockholders will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m. EST on March 8, 2011.
How do I vote by proxy given to a company officer?
If you properly fill in your proxy card appointing an officer of the Company as your proxy and
send it to us in time to vote, your proxy, meaning one of the individuals named on your proxy card, will
vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not make specific choices, your
proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board ‘‘FOR’’ each of the agenda items listed
above. Alternatively, you can grant a proxy to the independent proxy as described below.
If a new agenda item or a new motion or proposal for an existing agenda item is presented to the
Annual General Meeting, the Company officer acting as your proxy will vote in accordance with the
recommendation of our Board of Directors. At the time we began printing this proxy statement, we
knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual General Meeting other than those
discussed in this proxy statement.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, we urge you to submit your
proxy. Returning the proxy card or submitting your vote electronically will not affect your right to
attend the Annual General Meeting. You must return your proxy cards by the times and dates set forth
below under ‘‘Returning Your Proxy Card’’ in order for your vote to be counted.
How do I appoint and vote via an independent proxy?
