On or about April 9, 2018, we mailed to stockholders of record a notice containing instructions on how to access our 2018 Proxy Statement and 2017 Annual Report to Stockholders on the Internet and on how to vote online. That notice also contains instructions on how you can receive a paper copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report to Stockholders via the United States mail or an electronic copy viae-mail if you prefer either of those alternatives. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY AND ANNUAL MEETING 1. Why is the AnnualMeeting being webcast? The Annual Meeting is being held on a virtual-only basis in order to enable participation by the broadest number of stockholders possible and to save costs compared to a physical meeting, particularly in view of the very low in-person attendance at Annual Meetings in recent years prior to our decision to hold virtual-only meetings (typically no more than ten individuals not associated with Management or the Board). In addition, a virtual meeting saves time and travel expense for our stockholders compared to a physical meeting. We are one of many prominent Delaware publicly- traded companies that have held virtual-only meetings and, as such, we are confident in the technology and believe that it enables stockholders to participate in the Annual Meeting more easily. In May 2017, we held the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as a virtual-only meeting and found it to be efficient andconvenientfor our stockholders. 2. What is a “proxy?” A proxy is a person or entity authorized to act for another person. In this instance, the Board of Directors has appointed a Proxy Committee to vote the shares represented by proxy forms submitted by stockholders to us prior to the Annual Meeting. Giving the Proxy Committee your proxy means that you authorize the Proxy Committee to vote your shares on your behalf at the Annual Meeting as you specifically instruct on your proxy card for each proposal, or if a matter that is not raised on the proxy card comes up for a vote at the Annual Meeting, in accordance with the Proxy Committee’s best judgment. 3. Whom am I appointing as my proxy? The Proxy Committee consists of Roger K. Newport, our Chief Executive Officer; Kirk W. Reich, our President and Chief Operating Officer; and Joseph C. Alter, our Vice President, General Counsel andCorporate Secretary. 4. What is a ProxyStatement? The document you are reading is a Proxy Statement. It is intended to provide our stockholders with information necessary to vote in an informed manner on matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. It is sent inconjunctionwitha solicitationof your proxy. 1 2018Proxy Statement Total of 05 pages in section 2.7 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) or Information About the Meeting Companies describe in detail the timing of the meeting, items of business to be voted upon, proposal-approval standards, who is eligible to vote, means of voting and other details. They often present this in “FAQ” or “Q&A” format. This procedural information is well-known to institutional investors. For this reason, many companies that are adding more business substance at the front of the document are moving this procedural information from the front to the back of the document. If it remains at the front, it does no harm as many investors will simply skip over it.
