the Annual General Meeting, shareholders of record should bring the admission ticket attached to the
enclosed proxy card and a form of photo identification to the Registered Shareholders check-in area,
where their ownership will be verified. Those who beneficially own shares should come to the

What if I return my proxy or voting instruction card but do not mark it to show how I am voting?
Your common shares will be voted according to the instructions you have indicated on your proxy
or voting instruction card. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction card but do not
indicate instructions for voting, your common shares will be voted: ‘‘FOR’’ the election of all nominees

the Board of Directors.
May I change or revoke my vote after I return my proxy or voting instruction card?

your proxy or, if you beneficially own your common shares, follow the instructions on the voting
instruction card;
