directions to vote from you.

on their voting processes. Please follow the directions on
your notice carefully. A number of brokerage firms and
banks participate in a program provided through Broadridge

and Internet voting options. If your shares are held in an
account with a brokerage firm or bank participating in the
Broadridge program, you may vote those shares telephonically
by calling the telephone number shown on the voting
instruction form received from your brokerage firm or bank,
or through the Internet at Broadridge’s voting website
(www.proxyvote.com). Votes submitted through the Internet
or by telephone through the Broadridge program must be
received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving Time, on
May 19, 2016.
Can I vote at the Annual Meeting?
Shares registered directly in your name as the shareholder of
record may be voted in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares
held through a broker or nominee may be voted in person
only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker or nominee
that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares.
Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage
you to vote your shares by proxy. You may still vote your
shares in person at the meeting even if you have previously
voted by proxy.

You may change your vote at any time before the polls close
at the Annual Meeting. You may do this by:
• Signing another proxy card with a later date and returning
it to us prior to the Annual Meeting;
