Stockholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting
virtually.
There is no change to the items of business to
be addressed at the Annual Meeting, which are described in the
proxy materials previously made available to the Company’s
stockholders. As described in those proxy materials, the Board of
Directors fixed the close of business on April 19, 2021 as the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any postponement or
adjournment thereof (the “Record Date”).
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual
Meeting, the Company urges stockholders to vote and submit your
proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods
described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. The proxy
card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will
not be updated to reflect the change in location and format and may
continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the
Annual Meeting.
How to Attend the Annual
Meeting
The Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday,
June 16, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time in the J.P.
Morgan Club at the Madison Square Garden Arena, located on Seventh
Avenue between West 31st Street and West 33rd Street, New York, New

An admission ticket is required if you desire to
attend the Annual Meeting.
To be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must
have been a stockholder at the close of business on the Record Date
or be the legal proxy holder or qualified representative of a
stockholder, and bring with you your admission ticket and a valid
government-issued photo identification card (federal, state or
local), such as a driver’s license or passport. Persons without an
admission ticket and proper identification may be denied admission
to the Annual Meeting.
To obtain an admission ticket, go to
www.proxyvote.com or call (844) 318-0137. You will need to enter
your 16-digit control number, which can be found on your Notice of
Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, voter instruction form

p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on June 9, 2021. For questions about
admission to the Annual Meeting, please call (844) 318-0137.
Please note that you will need your ticket to be
admitted to the Annual Meeting whether you vote before or at the
Annual Meeting, and regardless of whether you are a registered or
beneficial stockholder. If you are attending the Annual Meeting as
a proxy or qualified representative for a stockholder, you will
need to bring your legal proxy or authorization letter, in addition
to your admission ticket and valid government-issued photo
identification card.
Registration will begin at 9:00 a.m. Eastern
Daylight Time. We encourage you to arrive early to ensure plenty of
time to complete the registration process before the Annual Meeting
begins. Persons who have not completed registration by the time the
Annual Meeting begins will not be permitted to enter the Annual
Meeting.
Stockholders must provide advance written notice
to the Company if they intend to have a legal proxy (other than the
persons appointed as proxies on the Company’s proxy card) or
qualified representative attend the Annual Meeting on their behalf.
The notice must include the name and address of the legal proxy or
qualified representative and must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Daylight Time, on June 9, 2021 in order to allow enough time for
the issuance of an admission ticket to such person.
Please note that cameras, video and audio
recording equipment and other similar electronic devices, as well
as large bags (including large handbags and briefcases) and
packages will need to be checked at the door. Additionally, the
Company may impose additional restrictions on items that must be
checked at the door as well as the conduct of the Annual Meeting.
To ensure the safety of all persons, attendees and bags will be
subject to screening, including the use of x-ray screening where
available, and may also be subject to additional security
inspections. In order to attend the Annual Meeting, you will need
to present one of three options for entry: proof of full COVID-19
vaccination at least 14 days prior to the Annual Meeting, a
negative antigen COVID-19 test taken within 6 hours of the Annual
Meeting, or a negative PCR COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of
the Annual Meeting, in each case with a government-issued photo ID
matching the name on your documentation and the name on your
admission ticket. Upon arrival, in addition to providing the
foregoing documentation, you will complete a health screening that
includes a contactless temperature check that must register below
100.4 degrees. Guests that do not provide proof of full
vaccination are required to maintain at least a six-foot distance
from other attendees and wear a face covering while attending the
Annual Meeting. We are following evolving guidance and
