How to Vote
Most stockholders can vote by proxy in three ways:

|
|
by internet at http://www.astproxyportal.com/ast/15517;
|
If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote your shares by voting by internet, by telephone, by mailing in your proxy or in person at the
Annual Meeting. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, you must present proof of identification (such as a drivers license). You may give the Company your proxy by following the instructions included in the Notice or, if
you received or request to receive a printed version of these proxy materials, by completing, signing and returning the proxy card enclosed in the proxy materials. If you want to vote by mail but have not received a printed version of these proxy
materials, you may request a full packet of proxy materials through the instructions in the Notice. If you vote using either telephone or the internet, you will save the Company mailing expense.
By giving the Company your proxy, you will be directing the Company how to vote your shares at Annual Meeting. Even if you plan on attending the
meeting, the Company urges you to vote now by giving the Company your proxy. This will ensure that your vote is represented at the meeting. The giving of such a proxy will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the
Annual Meeting. If you do attend the meeting, you can change your vote at that time, if you then desire to do so.
If you are the
beneficial owner of shares held in street name (for example, your shares are held in your brokerage account), the methods by which you can access the proxy materials and give the voting instructions to the broker or nominee may vary. Accordingly,
beneficial owners should follow the instructions provided by their brokers or nominees to vote by internet, telephone or mail. If you want to vote by mail but have not received a printed version of these proxy materials, you may request a full
packet of proxy materials as instructed by the Notice. If you want to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker or nominee. You should contact your broker or nominee or refer to the instructions
provided by your broker or nominee for further information. Additionally, the availability of internet or telephone voting depends on the voting process used by the broker or nominee that holds your shares.
You may receive more than one Notice or proxy statement and proxy card or voting instruction form if your shares are held through more than one
account (e.g., through different brokers or nominees). Each proxy card or voting instruction form only covers those shares held in the applicable account. If you hold shares in more than one account, you will have to provide voting instructions as
to all your accounts to vote all your shares.
Votes submitted by internet or telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on
April 26, 2020.
The internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholder identities, to allow
stockholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that stockholders instructions have been recorded properly. Stockholders voting by internet or by phone should remember that the stockholder must bear costs associated with
electronic access, such as usage charges from internet access providers and telephone companies.
How to
Change Your Vote or Revoke Your Proxy
You may revoke your proxy in writing at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting
by: (i) delivering to the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company a written notice of the revocation; (ii) signing, dating and delivering to the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate
Secretary of the Company a proxy with a later date; (iii) timely submitting a proxy with new voting instructions using the internet or telephone voting system; or (iv) attending the Annual Meeting and voting your shares in person. Your
attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company before your proxy is exercised or unless you vote your
shares in person at the Annual Meeting before your proxy is exercised.
Brokers are not permitted to vote your shares for non-discretionary matters, which include the election of directors and the advisory vote to approve executive compensation, without your instructions as to how to vote. Please vote by internet or by telephone or, if
you requested a printed copy of the proxy materials, complete, sign and return your proxy card so that your vote can be counted.
