(the “Company”) approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) to implement proxy access.

It permits eligible stockholders with an ownership threshold of 3% of the Company, who have held their shares for at least three years and who otherwise meet the requirements set forth in the Bylaws, to have their nominees consisting of the greater of 25% or two nominees of the Board included in the Company’s proxy materials. An unlimited number of stockholders can aggregate ownership for purposes of meeting the 3% requirement. This process is subject to additional eligibility, procedural, and disclosure requirements set forth in the Bylaws.
