a. Voting standard not stated in the filing.

b. Voting standard not stated in the filing.

c. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Voting Choices · Vote for the approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers; · Vote against the approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers; or · Abstain from voting. Board Recommendation The Board recommends a vote "FOR" this proposal. Voting Requirement The advisory approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers requires a majority of the votes cast. Thus, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers will be approved on an advisory basis if the votes cast "FOR" exceed the votes cast "AGAINST." This vote is not binding upon the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee. Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee values the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for the Company's named executive officers. | Abstentions: ARE ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES COUNTED? Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be included in the totals of votes cast and will not affect the outcome of the vote at the Annual Meeting.”.

Approval percentages are the company’s own reported computations under its own stated standard, not recomputed by Velarion. Where a company does not state a standard, none is assumed.
