shares of common stock (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;) and Series A preferred stock (the &#147;Preferred Stock&#148;) that they hold as of the &#147;day of registration&#148; (&#147;<I>dag van registratie</I>&#148;) as referred to in the Dutch Civil
Code (which is April&nbsp;22, 2016, as described further in the proxy statement). Each person who attends the annual meeting may be asked to present valid picture identification, such as a driver&#146;s license or passport and proof of share
ownership as of April&nbsp;22, 2016. Examples of proof of share ownership include voting instruction statements from a broker or bank or share certificates. Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, the Company urges you to promptly vote your
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock by submitting your marked, signed and dated proxy card. You will retain the right to revoke your proxy at any time before the vote, or to vote your shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock personally if you
attend the annual meeting. Please note, however, that if you hold your shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock through a broker or other nominee, and you wish to vote in person at the annual meeting, you must obtain from your broker or other
nominee a proxy issued in your name. <I> </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I></I>For further information, please review the proxy statement at
