Dear Stockholder: 

It is my pleasure to inform you that our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, will be conducted online on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, commencing at 10:00 a.m. (local time). The virtual nature of the Annual Meeting will enable increased shareholder accessibility, while improving meeting efficiency and reducing costs. Stockholders will be able to listen, vote, and submit questions from their home or any remote location with Internet connectivity. Information on how to participate in this year’s Annual Meeting can be found on page 2 of the Proxy Statement. 

We are taking advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission rule that allows companies to provide their stockholders with access to proxy materials over the Internet. On or about August 14, 2018, we will begin mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders informing them that our Proxy Statement, Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and voting instructions are available online. As more fully described in that Notice, all stockholders may choose to access our proxy materials on the Internet or may request to receive paper copies of the proxy materials. This allows us to conserve natural resources and reduces the costs of printing and distributing the proxy materials, while providing our stockholders with access to the proxy materials in a fast and efficient manner.
