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 number printed on the enclosed Notice in the box marked by the arrow LOGO

 

What if I still prefer to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials?

 

You can easily request a paper copy at no cost. Refer to the “Before You Vote’’ section of the Notice for further instructions.

 

Can I request to receive my proxy materials for future meetings by e-mail rather than receive a Notice?
