Any proxy cards previously received by the Company will be disregarded for purposes of determining the number of votes cast for each proposal described in the proxy statement and proxy materials. Furthermore, such stockholders will need to submit the new proxy card even if their vote has not changed with respect to the other proposals submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
