Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
A:
Stockholders of record at the close of business on Monday, October 1, 2018 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on that date, there were outstanding and entitled to vote 4,013,537 shares of common stock, each of which is entitled to one vote. No cumulative voting rights exist under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. For information regarding the ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by holders of more than five percent of the outstanding shares and by the management of the Company, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”
Q:
How do I vote my shares?
A:
If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the meeting, you may vote by ballot.
Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may also direct how your shares are voted without attending the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by proxy by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card.
Q:
How do I vote if my shares are held in “street name?”
A:
If you hold your shares in “street name,” (i.e., you hold the shares through a broker, bank or other intermediary), as opposed to holding them “of record,” you will receive a form from your broker or bank seeking instruction as to how your shares should be voted. If you desire to vote shares held in street name in person at the meeting, you need to contact your broker or intermediary and ask how to obtain a “legal proxy” to directly vote such shares.
