FAQ — Internet Availability of Proxy Materials The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued rules requiring public companies to:

> Make proxy materials (such as the Annual Report and Proxy Statement) available on the Internet > Notify shareholders how and where to access those materials online

These rules allow companies to give shareholders more options for reviewing important proxy materials. Information can be made available to shareholders more quickly and conveniently — online documents are easily searchable, enabling shareholders to quickly find the information they need to make informed voting decisions.

The new rules also allow companies to send a one-page Notice to holders with instructions on how to access the materials online, rather than sending a full set of materials. Our reasons for choosing the notice-only option are to:

> Adopt more sustainable practices and be more environmentally responsible — by shrinking our carbon footprint through reductions in ink and paper used in printing and fuel used in shipping

> Increase shareholder value — by reducing print and mail costs Please refer to the information below to learn more and to find out what your options are as a shareholder to view materials and vote.

What is on the one-page Notice? The Notice contains simple instructions on how to: > Access and view the proxy materials online > Vote your shares online > Request a free set of printed materials

> Change delivery preferences for future proxy mailings DO retain the Notice for future reference

DO NOT mark your vote on the Notice and return it; the Notice is not a proxy card or ballot If I received only a one-page Notice, how do I vote my shares?

To vote your shares, follow the instructions on the Notice to vote online. If you request a paper copy of the proxy materials, you’ll receive a proxy card with voting bringing the Notice with you and attending the meeting.

If I received only a one-page Notice, how do I request a full set of printed materials for this meeting or future proxy mailings?

To request a free set of printed materials for this meeting or for future mailings, refer to the Notice for detailed instructions on how to request a copy via Internet, telephone or email.

If I received a full set of materials, may I request only a one-page Notice for future proxy mailings?

Our company will make a decision for each meeting whether or not to use the notice-only option, and send notice-only mailings at our discretion.

Can I elect to receive my proxy materials electronically?

You may elect to receive materials via email for future mailings. You will receive the materials electronically if our company chooses to offer email delivery in the future. To change your delivery preferences, follow the instructions on the Notice.

One of your key privileges as an investor is the right to vote on important matters that affect the company you own shares in.

Please vote. Your vote is important to us and our business. 015YMA
