How do I vote by proxy?
Follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. Sign and date the proxy card and mail it back to us in
the enclosed envelope. If you receive more than one proxy card it may mean that you hold shares in more
than one account. Sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. The proxy holder
named on the proxy card will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not
indicate your vote, the proxy holder will vote on your behalf “FOR” the named Class A/Class B director
nominee or his substitute and “FOR” ratification of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting
firm.
Can I vote via the Internet?
Stockholders with shares registered in their names with BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, our transfer
agent, may authorize a proxy via the Internet at the following address: http://www.proxyvote.com. A number
of brokerage firms and banks participate in a program that permits Internet voting. If your shares are held in
an account at a brokerage firm or bank that participates in such a program, you may direct the vote of those
shares by following the instructions on the voting form enclosed with the proxy from the brokerage firm or
bank.
Proxies submitted via the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. (EDT) on April 28, 2008. Please refer
to your voting instruction form and/or your proxy card for specific voting instructions. If you vote this years
proxy via the Internet, you may also elect to receive future proxy and other materials electronically by
following the instructions when you vote. Making this election will save the Company the cost of producing
and mailing these documents.
What if other matters come up at the annual meeting?
The items listed on the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders are the only matters that we know will
be voted on at the annual meeting. On such other business as may properly come before the meeting, your
shares will be voted in the discretion of the proxy holder.
Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?
Yes. At any time before the vote at the annual meeting, you can change your vote either by giving our
Corporate Secretary a written notice revoking your proxy card, or by signing, dating and submitting a new
proxy card. We will honor the latest dated proxy card which has been received prior to the closing of the
voting. You may also attend the meeting and vote in person.
Can I vote in person at the annual meeting rather than by completing the proxy card?
Although we encourage you to complete and return the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted,
you can attend the annual meeting and vote your shares in person.
What do I do if my shares are held in “street name”?
If your shares are held in the name of your broker, a bank or other nominee, you should return your proxy
in the envelope provided by such broker, bank or nominee or instruct the person responsible for holding your
shares to execute a proxy on your behalf. In either case, your shares will be voted according to your
instructions.
If you wish to attend the annual meeting and vote your shares in person, you should obtain the documents
required to vote your shares in person at the annual meeting from your broker, bank or other nominee.
Who is soliciting my vote?
The board of directors is soliciting your vote.
