Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 2, 2018, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the Record
Date), are entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the Annual Meeting.
If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other
nominee and intend to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you will need to provide a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other holder of record.
What are the voting rights of stockholders?
Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote. There is no cumulative voting.
How many shares are outstanding?
At the close of business on March 2, 2018, the Record Date, 36,118,163 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
What constitutes a quorum?
The
presence in person or by proxy of the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker
non-votes,
if any, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
What is the
difference between a stockholder of record and a street name holder?
These terms describe how your shares
are held. If your shares are registered directly in your name with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (AST), our transfer agent and registrar, you are a stockholder of record. If your shares are held in the
name of a brokerage, bank, trust or other nominee as a custodian, you are a street name holder.
If you are a street
name holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and your broker or nominee is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your
broker on how to vote your shares. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person; however, in order to vote your shares in person, you must provide us with a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other stockholder
of record.
How do I vote?
If
you are a registered stockholder, meaning that your shares are registered in your name, you have four voting options. You may vote:
|
|
|
over the Internet at the web address noted in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card you received (if you have access to the Internet, we encourage you to vote in this manner);
