nominees. You may vote for less than eight director-nominees if you
choose. You may also abstain from voting.
Proposals 2 You may cast your vote in favor of, or against, each proposal. You may
and 3 also abstain from voting,
How will my shares be voted if I do not specify how they should be voted?
If you execute the enclosed proxy card without indicating how you want your shares to be voted,
the proxies appointed by the Board will vote as recommended by the Board and described previously in
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:
by mailing a revised proxy card to the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company;
by changing your vote on the Internet website;
by using the telephone voting procedures; or
by voting in person at the Meeting.
What vote will be required to approve each proposal?
Proposal 1 provides that the eight 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.
