Applicable securities regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders to Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation (“ B r o a d r i d g e ”). Broadridge supplies a voting instruction form (“V V I F ”) and the VIF can be completed by mail, telephone or via the internet. The VIF provides detailed instructions on how to use any of these voting options.
