Each Precision Share entitled to be voted in respect of the Precision Transaction Resolution will entitle the holder to one vote at the Precision Meeting.

The record date (the "Precision Record Date") for determination of Precision Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Precision Meeting is the close of business on November 2, 2018. Only Precision Shareholders whose names have been entered in the register of holders of Precision Shares, on the close of business on the Precision Record Date, will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Precision Meeting, provided that, to the extent that a Precision Shareholder transfers the ownership of any Precision Shares after the Precision Record Date and the transferee of those Precision Shares establishes ownership of such Precision Shares and demands, not later than ten days before the Precision Meeting, to be included in the list of Precision Shareholders eligible to vote at the Precision Meeting, such transferee will be entitled to vote those Precision Shares at the Precision Meeting.
