Outstanding Securities and Voting Rights

Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on the Record Date for the Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. On the Record Date, we had 11,598,01512,208,077 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at the Meeting.

The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present at the Meeting, either in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting. A brokernon-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, a broker does not have the discretion to vote on anynon-routine matter presented at the meeting such as the Election of Directors Proposal, the Amendment to the 2018 Plan Proposal, or the Say on Pay Proposal. Under the NYSE rules, a broker does have discretion to vote on the Ratification of Auditor Proposal. As a result, any broker who is a member of the NYSE will not have the discretion to vote on any of the proposals presented at the Meeting, except for the Ratification of Auditor Proposal, if such broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares represented.

The Election of Directors Proposal will be determined by a plurality of votes cast. The Ratification of Auditor Proposal and Say on Pay Proposal and Amendment to the 2018 Plan Proposal, and any other proposal properly submitted will be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock which are present in person or by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote. A brokernon-vote will have no effect on the proposals. Abstentions will have no effect on the Election of Directors Proposal and will have the same effect as a vote against the Ratification of Auditor Proposal and Say on Pay Proposal and Amendment to the 2018 Plan Proposal.

Proxy Voting

Shares for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the directions given or, in the absence of directions, will be voted “FOR” Proposal 1 — the Election of Directors Proposal,“FOR” Proposal 2 — the Ratification of Auditor Proposal, and “FOR” Proposal 3 — Amendment to the 2018 Plan Proposal and “FOR” Proposal 4 – the—the Say on Pay Proposal. If other matters are properly presented, the person named in the proxies in the accompanying proxy card will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters.
