PLEASE VOTE YOUR SHARES!!!
New SEC rules have changed how shares held in brokerage accounts are voted in director elections and on non-routine proposals. If you own shares through a brokerage account and do not vote your shares, your brokerage firm can no longer vote them for you. As a result, it is more difficult to achieve the necessary quorum and to obtain a majority of votes. Therefore, it is very important to vote for all proposals on the enclosed proxy.
Management recommends that you vote “FOR” proposals 1 – 3 and select “3 YEARS” on Proposal 4.
There are three easy ways to vote your shares after you’ve reviewed the proxy materials:
|
Mail
|
Internet
|
Phone
|
|
Just fill out and mail in the attached proxy card in the pre-stamped envelope.

Go to website: www.proxyvote.com
Have your “control number” in hand.
Follow the simple directions.
