In the absence of your direction, they will vote your shares as recommended by the Board. Unless you otherwise indicate on the proxy card, you also authorize your proxy holders to vote your shares on any matters not known by the Board at the time this Proxy Statement was made available to you and which, under our bylaws, may be properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

As of the close of business on March 12, 2018, we had 16,950,353 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Notice of Internet Availability This year we are mailing a notice of availability over the Internet (the “Notice of Internet Availability”) of the proxy materials to our stockholders. The Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials and form of proxy on the Internet, as well as instructions on obtaining a paper copy. This process will allow us to reduce our costs to print and distribute our proxy materials as a full set of paper proxy materials will not be mailed to each stockholder. If you received the Notice of Internet Availability only and would like to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials, please follow the instructions printed on the Notice of Internet Availability to request that a paper copy be mailed to you. All stockholders who have previously requested to receive a paper copy of the materials, will receive a full set of paper proxy materials by U.S. mail. How You Can Vote You may vote your shares in one of several ways, depending upon how you own your shares. • By Internet . Stockholders of record may vote or submit proxies by following the Internet voting instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability or, if they received paper copies in the mail of the proxy materials, as described in the proxy card. Most stockholders who hold shares beneficially in street name may provide voting instructions by accessing the website specified on the voting instruction form provided by their brokers, banks or nominees rather than following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability and proxy card. Please check the voting instruction form for Internet voting availability. Please be aware that if you vote over the Internet, you may incur costs such as Internet access charges for which you will be responsible. The deadline for Internet voting is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, the day before the meeting date. • Voting by Telephone. Stockholders of record who received paper copies in the mail of the proxy materials, may vote by following the telephone voting instructions on the proxy cards. Most stockholders who hold shares beneficially in street name may provide voting instructions by telephone by calling the number specified on the voting instruction form provided by
