this section.
How will withheld votes, abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?
Withheld votes, abstentions and broker non-votes will be deemed as ‘‘present’’ at the Meeting, and
will be counted for quorum purposes only.
Can I change my vote?
You may revoke your proxy before the time of voting at the Meeting in any of the following ways:

Proposal 1 provides that the nine director-nominees who receive a majority of the votes cast with
respect to his or her election will be elected as directors of the Company. This means that the number
of shares voted ‘‘for’’ the election of a director must exceed the number of shares voted ‘‘against’’ the
election of that director.
