If I am a stockholder holding shares in "street name," how do I vote?
If you hold your shares in "street name" with a broker, brokerage firm, broker-dealer, bank or other nominee, you should review the information
provided to you by the holder of record. This information will describe the procedures you must follow in instructing the holder of record how to vote your
"street name" shares and how to revoke your previous instructions.
How can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?
If you are a registered stockholder, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is actually voted at the Annual Meeting by giving notice of
revocation to the Company in writing, by accessing the designated Internet site prior to the deadline for transmitting voting instructions electronically, by
using the toll-free number stated on the form of proxy prior to the deadline for transmitting voting instructions electronically or by attending the Annual
Meeting and giving notice of revocation in person. You may also change your vote by choosing one of the following options: executing and returning to the
Company a later-dated form of proxy; submitting a later-dated vote through the designated Internet site or the toll-free telephone number stated on the form of
proxy prior to the deadline for transmitting voting instructions electronically; or voting at the Annual Meeting. Attending the Annual Meeting will not, by
itself, revoke your proxy.
If you hold your shares in "street name," you must follow the instructions provided by the holder of record in order to revoke your previous instructions.
Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
The Company will pay the costs of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement, the accompanying form of proxy and any other
related materials and all other costs incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board, other than the Internet access and telephone
usage charges mentioned above. Although the Company is soliciting proxies by mailing the proxy materials to stockholders, proxies may be solicited by
Company employees or, as referred to by the Company, "associates," via mail or by telephone, facsimile, electronic transmission or personal contact without
additional compensation. The Company has retained Innisfree, New York, New York, to aid in the solicitation of proxies with respect to shares held by
brokers, brokerage firms, broker/dealers, banks and other custodians, fiduciaries and nominees for a fee of approximately $15,000 plus expenses. The
Company will reimburse its transfer agent, brokers, brokerage firms, broker/dealers, banks and other custodians, fiduciaries and nominees for their reasonable
costs in sending proxy materials to stockholders who beneficially own our shares.
Are there any cumulative voting rights in the election of directors?
No.
What constitutes a quorum to hold and transact business at the Annual Meeting?
A quorum for the Annual Meeting is one-third of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed
proxies returned to the Company prior to the Annual Meeting or represented by properly authenticated Internet or telephone voting instructions will be
counted toward the establishment of a quorum for the Annual Meeting.
How are votes tabulated?
The results of stockholder voting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for the Annual Meeting.
