A properly executed proxy marked as withholding authority with respect to the election of one or more
nominees for director will not be voted with respect to the nominee or nominees for director indicated.
Broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast for or against or withheld from a director nominee’s
election at the Annual Meeting.
See the “Governance – Majority Vote Policy and Standard” section of this Proxy Statement for more
information about our majority vote policy and standard.
Other Matters
For purposes of Proposal Two and Proposal Three, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the common shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on each such matter will be
required for approval. The votes received with respect to Proposal Two and Proposal Three are
advisory and will not bind the Board or us. A properly executed proxy marked “abstain” with respect to
Proposal Two and Proposal Three will not be voted with respect to such matter, although it will be
counted for purposes of determining the number of common shares necessary for approval of such
matter. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against Proposal Two and Proposal
Three. If no voting instructions are given (excluding broker non-votes), the persons named as proxy
holders on the proxy card will vote the common shares in accordance with the recommendation of the
Board.
