How will you treat abstentions and broker non-votes?
 
We will:
 
  •  count abstentions and broker non-votes for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting;
 
  •  treat abstentions as votes not cast but as shares represented at the Annual Meeting for determining results on actions requiring a majority of shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting;
 
  •  not consider broker non-votes for determining actions requiring a majority of shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting; and
 
  •  consider neither abstentions nor broker non-votes in determining results of plurality votes.
