management's recommendation, regardless of whether the recommendation
is 'For' or 'Against,' except where management has made no
recommendation or has recommended that shareholders 'Abstain.'
Where management has recommended that shareholders 'Abstain' from
voting on a ballot item: 1) a ballot market 'Abstain' is considered to
have been voted for management's recommendation to 'Abstain' and 2) a
ballot voted 'For" or 'Against' is considered to have been voted
against management's recommendation to 'Abstain.'
Where management has made no recommendation on a ballot item, the
abbreviation "N/A" is used to denote that there is no applicable
recommendation compared to which a vote may be 'For' or 'Against' the
recommendation of management.
