Pursuant to the SEC “Notice and Access” proxy rules, companies are permitted to send the enclosed “Notice” instead of a full printed set of proxy materials. The Notice gives you instructions on how to view your company’s proxy materials and vote online, or how to receive a full set of printed materials by mail. There are several advantages to your company sending a Notice instead of a full set of materials, including lowering your company’s costs and reducing the environmental impact from printing and mailing full sets of proxy materials. How do I view the proxy materials online? Go to www.proxyvote.com and follow the instructions. You will need to enter the number printed on the enclosed Notice in the box marked by the arrow . What if I prefer to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials? You can easily request a paper copy which will be mailed to you at no cost. Instructions on how to order a paper copy can be found in the “Before You Vote” section of the Notice. Can I request to receive my proxy materials for future meetings by e-mail rather than receive a Notice? Yes. The instructions on how to change your preferences so you receive proxy materials for future meetings by e-mail are online at www.proxyvote.com. How can I vote my shares?
