The proposal is a &#8220;routine&#8221; matter and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their Shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of the proposal. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner&#8217;s Shares should be voted on the proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such Shares in favor of the proposal.
