SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT

Outstanding Shares and Voting Rights

Only holders of the 2,891,613 outstanding shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the record date, November 27, 2013, are entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote the shares of Common Stock that they held on that date at the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

The presence in person or representation by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum, thereby permitting the stockholders to conduct their business at the Annual Meeting.

The election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum.

Each other item of business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting will be determined by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted on the matter. Under Delaware law, abstentions are counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum and, being shares entitled to vote, are counted in the determination of voting results.

In general, if a stockholder holds shares of Common Stock in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, and if the broker or other nominee is not instructed or otherwise empowered to vote the stockholder’s shares at a meeting with respect to matters which are deemed to be non-discretionary, then the stockholder’s shares will constitute “broker non-votes” as to such matter. Under Delaware law, broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum; however, because they reflect the withholding of voting power on a specified matter, they are not shares entitled to vote and thus are not counted in the determination of voting results. There may be “broker non-votes” at the Annual Meeting with respect to the proposal for the election of directors and the say on pay proposals, because these proposals are deemed to be non-discretionary matters.

At the Annual Meeting, votes will be counted by a representative of Computershare Inc., the Corporation’s independent Inspector of Election. Such representative will process the votes cast by the stockholders, will make a report of inspection and count of the votes cast by the stockholders, and will certify as to the number of votes cast on each proposal.

PROPOSAL # 3 — ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are asking the shareholders to vote, on an advisory basis, to approve the compensation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, (the “Named Executive Officers”) as disclosed in the Proxy Statement dated November 29, 2013 in accordance with the rules of the SEC and Section 14A of the Exchange Act. This proposal commonly known as a “say on pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the compensation agreements and practices described in the Proxy Statement. This vote is advisory and is, therefore, not binding on us or the Board. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation.

3

Because the Board believes that the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in “Executive Compensation” of the Proxy Statement appropriately addresses the Company’s objectives in connection with executive compensation, it recommends that the shareholders approve the following advisory resolution:

RESOLVED that the shareholders approve the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the “Executive Compensation” section of the Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of SEC Regulation S-K, including the executive compensation tables and related disclosures.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL # 4 — ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In addition to the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described above, we are asking our shareholders to vote as to the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Named Executive Officers pursuant to the rules of the SEC and Section 14A of the Exchange Act. This proposal gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on whether such future advisory votes should occur every one, two, or three years, or abstain. This vote is advisory and is, therefore, not binding on us or the Board. The Board will consider the opinions of our shareholders when determining the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Named Executive Officers. The next shareholder vote on the frequency of the advisory vote will be determined by the outcome of the vote.

The Board has determined that holding an advisory vote on executive compensation annually is the most appropriate policy for the Company at this time. Our executive management programs are designed to recognize and reward both corporate and individual goals, and an annual vote will be consistent with the annual election of the Board of Directors. Therefore, the Board recommends that the shareholders approve the following advisory resolution:

RESOLVED that the shareholders desire that the Company include an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, on an annual basis.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE TO HOLD AN ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no business which will be presented at the Annual Meeting other than the matters set forth in this Supplement and the Proxy Statement dated November 29, 2013. If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, proxies in the enclosed form will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgments of the persons voting the proxies.
