* Broker non-votes are instances where a broker holding shares of record for a
beneficial owner does not vote the shares because it has not received voting
instructions from the beneficial owner and therefore is precluded by the rules
of the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") from voting on a particular
matter. Under Nasdaq rules, when a broker holding shares in "street name" does
not receive voting instructions from a beneficial owner, the broker has
discretionary authority to vote on certain routine matters but is prohibited
from voting on non-routine matters. Brokers who do not receive instructions are
not entitled to vote on the election of directors, but they are entitled to vote
on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public
accounting firm.
