Similarly, pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c)(1) under the Exchange Act, there is a new deadline for the preservation of discretionary authority to vote on any other proposals for the 2014 Annual Meeting that are not timely received by the Company. The new deadline established by the Company for both purposes is the close of business on July 3, 2014.
