Proposal One – Adoption of the Merger Agreement

Proposal Two – Adjournment of the Special Meeting
The second proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”) was to approve any proposal to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, (1) to solicit additional proxies if there were insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal, or (2) if the failure to adjourn or postpone would reasonably have been expected to be a violation of applicable law.
