set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the
proxy materials for the 2017 Annual Meeting, including submission
of notice of the nomination by Schedule 14N required to

determining whether notice of a stockholder proposal is timely
for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with
respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c) promulgated under of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).

Also, if the stockholder does not also comply with the
requirements of Rule 14a-4(c)(2) under the Exchange Act, the
