How do I vote?
The procedures for voting are as follows:
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote online at the Special Meeting, vote by proxy over the telephone, vote by proxy through the internet or vote by proxy by mail using the enclosed proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting and vote online even if you have already voted by proxy.
To vote during the Special Meeting, if you are a stockholder of record as of the record date, follow the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EIGR2023SM. You will need to enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card or voting instruction form.
To vote using the proxy card that may be delivered to you, simply complete, sign and date the proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Special Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.
To vote over the telephone, dial toll-free 1-800-690-6903 using a touch-tone phone and follow the recorded instructions. You will be asked to provide the control number from your proxy card or voting instruction form. Your telephone vote must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on December 27, 2023 to be counted.
To vote through the internet, go to http://www.proxyvote.com to complete an electronic proxy card. You will be asked to provide the control number from the proxy card or voting instruction form. Your internet vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 27, 2023 to be counted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank
If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a full set of proxy materials containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from Eiger. Simply follow the voting instructions in the proxy materials to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote online at the Special Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.
How many votes do I have?
On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of November 20, 2023.
What happens if I do not vote?
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, by mail, by telephone, through the internet or online at the Special Meeting, your shares will not be voted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank
If you are a beneficial owner and do not instruct your broker, bank, or other agent how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other agent may still be able to vote your shares in its discretion. In this regard, brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters considered to be “routine”, but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Proposals One and Two are considered “routine” matters, meaning that if you do not return voting instructions to your broker before its deadline, your shares may be voted by your broker in its discretion on Proposals One and Two.
What if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices?
If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “FOR” the Amendment Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his best judgment.
