AKAO 2018 Proxy Statement

4 Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Agent If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a voting instruction card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the voting instruction card to ensure that your vote is counted, or follow such instructions to submit your vote by the Internet or telephone, if the instructions provide for Internet and telephone voting. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form. Who counts the votes? Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (“DFSCO”) has been engaged as our independent agent to tabulate stockholder votes, or the Inspector of Election. If you are a stockholder of record, and you choose to vote over the Internet prior to the Annual Meeting or by telephone, DFSCO will access and tabulate your vote electronically, and if you have requested and received proxy materials via mail or e-mail and choose to sign and mail your proxy card, your executed proxy card is returned directly to DFSCO for tabulation. As noted above, if you hold your shares through a broker, your broker (or its agent for tabulating votes of shares held in “street name”) returns one proxy card to DFSCO on behalf of all its clients. How are votes counted? Votes will be counted by the Inspector of Election appointed for the Annual Meeting. For Proposal 1, the Inspector of Election will separately count “For” and “Withheld” votes and broker non-votes for each nominee. For Proposal 2, the Inspector of Election will separately count “For” and “Against” votes, abstentions and broker non- votes. For Proposal 3, the Inspector of Election will separately count “every year,” “every two years,” “every three years,” abstentions and broker non-votes. For Proposal 4, the Inspector of Election will separately count “For” and “Against” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes, though because Proposal 4 is considered a “routine” matter, we do not expect broker-non votes for this proposal. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to follow the instructions provided by your broker to instruct your broker how to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “routine” items, but not with respect to “non-routine” items. See below for more information regarding: “What are “broker non-votes”?” and “Which ballot measures are considered “routine” or “non-routine”?” What are “broker non-votes”? Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. In the event that a broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other record holder of common stock indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to that proposal. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your vote is counted on each of the proposals. Which ballot measures are considered “routine” or “non-routine”? The ratification of the selection, by the audit committee of our board of directors, of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018 (Proposal 4) is considered routine under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 4. The election of directors (Proposal 1), the advisory, non-binding vote on compensation for our named executive officers (Proposal 2) and the advisory, non- binding vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on compensation for our named executive officers (Proposal 3)
