Our records indicate that as of June 9, 2017, the “Record Date” for the Annual Meeting, you held shares of the Company and, therefore, you are entitled to vote on the matters described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) and as set forth on the proxy card attached thereto, which were mailed to you on or about June 16, 2017. Our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote.

REMEMBER: Your vote is important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. Please take a moment to vote your shares.

In particular, the Company’s Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares in favor of the proposals described in the Proxy Statement and as set forth on the proxy card.
