We have decided to postpone the meeting in order to supplement and update information in the Proxy Statement regarding one of our directors and to provide stockholders with additional time to review and consider such information prior to the annual meeting. We will file a supplement to the Proxy Statement that will provide such updated information.
No changes have been made to the record date, the location of the meeting or the proposals to be voted on at the annual meeting, which are presented in our definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2018.
If you have already submitted your proxy, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. You retain the power to revoke your proxy or change your vote at any time before it is voted at the annual meeting. You may revoke your proxy or change your vote by (1) notifying Peter McMillan III, our Secretary; (2) attending the annual meeting and voting in person as described in the Proxy Statement under “Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?”; (3) if you received and returned a paper proxy card, returning another proxy card dated after your first proxy card, if we receive it before the annual meeting date; or (4) recasting your proxy vote via the Internet or by telephone. Only the most recent proxy vote will be counted and all others will be discarded regardless of the method of voting. If a broker or other nominee holds your stock on your behalf, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.
