    • Request a printed copy of the proxy materials; and
    • Instruct us to send future proxy materials to you by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.

If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those proxy materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.
