How do I vote my shares?
Stockholders of record can vote by using the
proxy card or by telephone or by the internet.
Beneficial owners whose stock is held:
• in a brokerage account can vote by
using the voting instruction form
provided by the broker or by telephone
or the internet.
• by a bank, and have the power to vote
or to direct the voting of the shares,
can vote using the proxy or the voting
information form provided by the bank
or, if made available by the bank, by
telephone or the internet.
• in trust under an arrangement that
provides the beneficial owner with the
power to vote or to direct the voting of
the shares can vote in accordance with
the provisions of such arrangement.
• in trust in one of the Company’s 401(k)
retirement plans can vote using the
voting instruction form provided by the
trustee.
Beneficial owners, other than persons who
beneficially own shares held in trust in one of the
Company’s 401(k) retirement plans, can vote at
the meeting provided that he or she obtains a
“legal proxy” from the person or entity holding
the stock for him or her (typically a broker, bank,
or trustee). A beneficial owner can obtain a legal
proxy by making a request to the broker, bank, or
trustee. Under a legal proxy, the bank, broker, or
trustee confers all of its rights as a record holder
(which may in turn have been passed on to it by
the ultimate record holder) to grant proxies or to
vote at the meeting.
Listed below are the various means —
internet, phone and mail — you can use to vote
your shares without attending the annual
meeting.
You can vote on the internet.
Stockholders of record and beneficial
owners of the Company’s common stock can
vote via the internet regardless of whether they
receive their annual meeting materials through
the mail or via the internet. Instructions for doing
so are provided along with your proxy card or
voting instruction form. If you vote on the
internet, please do not mail in your proxy card
(unless you intend for it to revoke your prior
internet vote). Your internet vote will authorize
the named proxies to vote your shares in the
same manner as if you marked, signed and
returned your proxy card.
You can vote by phone.
Stockholders of record and beneficial
owners of the Company’s common stock can
vote by phone. Instructions for voting by phone
are provided along with your proxy card or voting
instruction form. If you vote by telephone, please
do not mail in your proxy card (unless you intend
for it to revoke your prior telephone vote). Your
phone vote will authorize the named proxies to
vote your shares in the same manner as if you
marked, signed and returned your proxy card.
You can vote by mail.
Simply sign and date the proxy card or
voting instruction form received with this proxy
statement and mail it in the enclosed prepaid
and addressed envelope. If you mark your
choices on the card or voting instruction form,
your shares will be voted as you instruct.
The availability of telephone and internet
voting.
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.
(“Broadridge”) internet and telephone voting
facilities for stockholders of record and
beneficial holders will be available 24 hours a
day, and will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time

time for voting by the trustee, voting instructions
for 401(k) plan shares must be received no later

How will my shares be voted if I return a
blank proxy or voting instruction form?
If you are a stockholder of record, and you
sign and return a proxy card without giving
specific voting instructions, your shares will be
voted in accordance with the recommendations
of the Board of Directors shown above and as
the named proxies may determine in their
discretion with respect to any other matters
properly presented for a vote before the meeting.
