At the Meeting, the Company proposes to elect ten directors to hold office until the 2017 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders and until their successors have been elected and have qualified. The ten nominees for election at the
Meeting are listed below. All of the nominees are currently serving as a director of the Company and have consented to
be named as a nominee. Shareholders voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting may only vote for ten nominees. If,
prior to the Meeting, any of the nominees becomes unable to serve as a director, the Board may designate a substitute

detail below, and that the experience and qualifications of each nominee compliments the experience and qualifications
of the other nominees. The experience and qualifications of each nominee, including information regarding the specific
experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the Board and its Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee to conclude that he or she should serve as a director of the Company at the present time, in light of the
Company’s business and structure, are set forth on the following pages.
