Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials
We are pleased to take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission rule allowing companies to use a "Notice and Access" model to provide stockholders with access to proxy materials over the Internet. This allows us to conserve natural resources and reduces the costs of printing and distributing the proxy materials, while providing our stockholders with access to the proxy materials in a fast and efficient manner via the Internet. Under this process, on or about October 2, 2009, we will begin mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our stockholders informing them that our proxy statement, annual report to stockholders and voting instructions are available on the Internet. As more fully described in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, all stockholders may choose to access our proxy materials via the Internet or may request printed copies of the proxy materials. Please see the "Voting by Proxy" section of the proxy statement for more information.
If you are not a stockholder and would like to request a copy of the proxy statement, you may do so by clicking here.
