It is important that your shares are represented and voted at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to
attend the meeting, please provide your proxy by following the instructions on your Notice or proxy card. On
April 7, 2009, we mailed to our shareholders a Notice containing instructions on how to access this proxy
statement and our Annual Report and vote online. If you received a Notice by mail, you will not receive a
printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail, unless you request a copy. Instead, you should follow the
instructions included in the Notice on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the
proxy statement and Annual Report. The Notice also instructs you on how you may submit your vote by proxy
over the Internet. If you received the proxy statement and Annual Report in the mail, please submit your proxy
by marking, dating and signing the proxy card included and returning it promptly in the envelope enclosed. If
you are able to attend the meeting and wish to vote your shares personally, you may do so at any time before the
proxy is exercised.
If you hold your common stock in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your
shares will not be voted on any proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote.
Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on any of the proposals, except the election of directors, the
ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2009 and the Company’s
proposal to approve the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan.
