Stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Virtual attendance at the Special Meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be treated as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.
Can I Ask Questions at the Special Meeting?
Stockholders will be able to submit written questions during the meeting in the “Ask A Question” field of the website by selecting a question topic, typing the question in the designated text box and clicking “Submit.”
Consistent with the rules of conduct for our Special Meeting, and to allow us to answer questions from as many stockholders as possible, each stockholder may submit a maximum of one question. We ask that questions be succinct and cover only one topic per question. Questions from multiple stockholders on the same topic or that are otherwise related may be grouped and answered together to avoid repetition.
What if I Have Trouble Accessing, or Technical Difficulties During, the Special Meeting?
We will have technicians ready to assist with any technical difficulties in accessing or participating in the Special Meeting. The technical support number will be posted on the Special Meeting login page.
Are There any Other Matters to Be Presented During the Special Meeting?
The Board knows of no other matters to be presented during the Special Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, by or at the direction of the Board, it is the intention of the proxyholders to vote the proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
Who Can Vote at the Special Meeting?
You are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, if you were a stockholder of record on the Record Date. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock held in street name and wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote shares you beneficially own, you must obtain a legal proxy from your intermediary giving you the right to vote those shares.
How are Votes Counted?
Each share of Common Stock held by you on the Record Date is entitled to one vote.
What is the Difference Between a Stockholder of Record and a Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name?
If your shares of Common Stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., you are considered a stockholder of record or a “registered stockholder” of those shares.
If your shares are held in an account at a bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary, you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name. In that case, you will receive proxy materials, as well as a voting instruction form, from the intermediary holding your shares and, as a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct the intermediary as to how to vote them. Most individual stockholders are beneficial owners of shares held in street name.
