Only holders of record of outstanding Series B Preferred Shares as of the close of business on August 10, 2018, and their duly authorized proxies, have the right to vote to elect two Preferred Directors at the Special Meeting.  Per Maryland corporation law, each share of stock may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected.  There is no cumulative voting in the election of the directors.  For example, in an election of two director nominees, a stockholder who owns one share can cast one vote for up to two of the nominees; however, the stockholder may not cast two votes for a single nominee.
