Annual Meeting Admission
All stockholders entitled to vote as of the Record Date are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting.
Such individuals should be prepared to present government-issued photo identification, such as a valid
driver’s license or passport, and verification of ownership of Common Stock or proxy status as of the
Record Date for admittance. For stockholders of record as of the Record Date, proof of ownership as of
the Record Date may be verified prior to admittance into the Annual Meeting. For stockholders who were
not stockholders of record but held shares through a bank, broker or other nominee holder as of the
Record Date, proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as an account statement or similar
evidence of ownership, may be verified prior to admittance into the Annual Meeting. For proxy holders,
proof of valid proxy status may be verified prior to admittance into the Annual Meeting. Stockholders and
proxy holders will be admitted to the Annual Meeting if they comply with these procedures.

Proposals of stockholders of the Company that are intended to be presented by such stockholders at
the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company no later than December 29,
2015 in order that they may be considered for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement and form of
proxy relating to that meeting. All such proposals must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’), which lists the requirements for the inclusion of
stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. If the stockholder proposal is to be

Statement, including any stockholder-recommended Director nomination, the notice of proposal or
