We have retained Mellon Investor Services LLC as a proxy solicitor for a fee of $5,000, plus out-of-pocket costs and expenses. As noted in our definitive proxy statement, the cost of proxy solicitation will be borne by the Company. Directors, officers and employees of the Company may, at no additional cost, also solicit proxies. Banks, brokerage houses and other institutions, nominees or fiduciaries have been or will be requested to forward the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the common stock and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding such matters.

The company and our directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders in connection with the special meeting under the rules of the SEC. Such participants may have interests in the solicitation, including as a result of holding shares of our common stock. Information about our directors and executive officers is contained in the definitive proxy statement that we filed with the SEC.
