Frequently Asked Questions Why am I receiving this Notice of Internet Availability? Pursuant to the SEC “Notice and Access” proxy rules, companies are permitted to send the enclosed “Notice” instead of a full printed set of proxy materials. The Notice gives you instructions on how to view your company’s proxy materials and vote online, or how to receive a full set of printed materials by mail. There are several advantages to your company sending a Notice instead of a full set of materials, including lowering your company’s costs and reducing the environmental impact from printing and mailing full sets of proxy materials. How do I view the proxy materials online? Go to www.proxyvote.com and follow the instructions. You will need to enter the Control # printed on the enclosed Notice. What if I prefer to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials? You can easily request a paper copy which will be mailed to you at no cost. Instructions on how to order a paper copy can be found in the “Get informed before you vote” section of the Notice. Can I request to receive my proxy materials for future meetings by e-mail rather than receive a Notice? Yes. The instructions on how to change your preferences so you receive proxy materials for future meetings by e-mail are online at: www.proxyvote.com.
