As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares and are also invited to attend the Special Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares online at the Special Meeting unless you have the 16-digit control number giving you the right to vote the shares. If your shares are held in street name and you wish to vote at the meeting, please obtain instructions on how to vote at the meeting from your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee.

Beneficial Holder
If you are a beneficial holder, you can vote by mail, over the phone or on the internet prior to the Special Meeting by following the instructions you received from your broker, bank or other nominee.

You can vote online at the Special Meeting by attending the Special Meeting online and following the instructions posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IPI2020SM. If you are a beneficial owner who does not have a 16-digit control number, please contact your broker, bank or other nominee to obtain instructions for voting at and attending the Special Meeting. Typically you may gain access to the Special Meeting by logging into your brokerage firm’s website and selecting the stockholder communications mailbox to link through to the Special Meeting.
If you do not give your broker, bank or other nominee instructions as to how to vote, under the rules of the NYSE, your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote your shares on any of the proposals without your instructions. Please be sure to return your voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee so that your vote is counted. The voting deadlines and availability of telephone and internet voting for beneficial owners of shares held in “street name” will depend on the voting processes of the organization that holds your shares. Therefore, we urge you to carefully review and follow the voting instructions card and any other materials that you receive from that organization.
Multiple Holdings
If you hold shares both as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial holder, you must vote separately for each set of shares.
