Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Nominee. If you are a beneficial owner, you must contact the brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holding your shares and follow its instructions to change your vote or revoke your proxy.
Who is paying for the expenses of the solicitation?
We will pay the expenses associated with soliciting proxies. Following the original distribution and mailing of the solicitation materials, we or our agents may solicit proxies by mail, email, telephone, facsimile, by other similar means, or in person. Our directors, officers, and other employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or in writing, by telephone, email or otherwise. Following the original distribution and mailing of the solicitation materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees, and other record holders to forward copies of those materials to persons for whom they hold shares and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, we, upon the request of the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote through the Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges you may incur.
I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?
Some banks, brokers, and other nominee record holders may participate in the practice of “householding” our proxy materials and annual report, including the Notice. This means that only one copy of our annual report and proxy materials, including the Notice, as applicable, may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household unless contrary instructions have been received from one or more of the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. Stockholders may revoke their consent at any time by contacting their broker.
Upon written or oral request, we will undertake to promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, annual report and other proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any of those documents was delivered. To receive a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, annual report and other proxy materials, you may contact Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. (“Broadridge”) by:
• | Internet: www.ProxyVote.com |
• | Telephone: 1-800-579-1639 |
Stockholders who hold shares of our common stock in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization to request information about householding.
Any stockholders who share the same address and currently receive multiple copies of our Notice or annual report and other proxy materials who wish to receive only one copy in the future can contact their bank, broker or other holder of record to request information about “householding” or by calling Broadridge at (866) 540-7095 or writing to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York, 11717.
Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting. We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. The final results will be tallied by the inspector of elections and filed with the SEC in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the Annual Meeting.
