Vote Required

Each Class I director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting (assuming a quorum is present). The three nominees for Class I director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Consequently, any shares not voted at the annual meeting, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise, will have no impact on the election of the directors. Shares of common stock represented by executed, but unmarked, proxy cards will be voted in favor of the election as directors of the persons named as nominees in this Proxy Statement; provided that, if you hold your shares of our common stock through a broker-dealer, bank nominee, custodian or other securities intermediary, the intermediary will not vote those shares for the election of any nominee for director unless you give the intermediary specific voting instructions on a timely basis directing the intermediary to vote for such nominee.

Each of the foregoing nominees has consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and agreed to serve as a director if elected. Our Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the listed nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as directors if elected. However, if any nominee should be unable to serve or will not serve, then the shares represented by proxies received will be voted for another nominee selected by our Board of Directors.

Recommendation of the Board of DirectorsThe Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each nominee for Class I Director to serve a term of three years under Proposal 1
