Under the Company’s majority voting policy, a director nominee must tender a conditional offer of resignation subject to acceptance or rejection by the Company’s board of directors in the event the director receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” his or her election in an uncontested election. At the Annual Meeting, Mr. Dondero received more votes “withheld” from his election than votes “for” his election. As a result, Mr. Dondero tendered his resignation from the board of directors, with the effectiveness of such resignation conditioned upon the board of directors’ acceptance thereof. The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider Mr. Dondero’s resignation and recommend to the board of directors whether to accept or reject it. The board of directors will act on the nominating and corporate governance committee’s recommendation within 90 days following certification of the election results and promptly disclose (1) its decision whether to accept or reject Mr. Dondero’s resignation and (2) if rejected, the reasons for rejecting Mr. Dondero’s resignation. As provided in the majority voting policy, Mr. Dondero will not participate in the deliberations of the nominating and corporate governance committee or the board of directors, but his service will otherwise continue pending the outcome of those deliberations.
 
2.
