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 instructions. You may also vote your shares in person by 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.
