If you hold your shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization and wish to vote at the meeting, you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” from that entity and submit it when you register. On the day of the Annual Meeting, if you have properly registered, you may enter the meeting by clicking on the link provided and entering the password you received via email in your registration confirmations. You will be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically, and submit questions prior to and during the meeting.
