To sell your shares, you must contact your broker or account representative and inform them of your decision to sell through this special program.

To purchase enough shares to reach exactly 100 shares, you must contact your broker or account representative and have them submit a purchase deposit payable to: COMPUTERSHARE. The purchase deposit is equal to $25 multiplied by the number of shares being purchased. The difference between the actual purchase price, including the processing fee (described below), and the purchase deposit will either be refunded or billed.

On a weekly basis, ending on a Friday, shares submitted for sale will be matched to shares requested for purchase by other participating shareholders. The balance of shares not matched will be traded in the open market throughout the respective week and a few days afterward. A weighted average price will be determined by these market trades for the repsective week and that is the price shareholders will be paid or will pay. Weighted averaging means the per share price is obtained by dividing the aggregate dollar amount of all market sales (or purchases) on behalf of such participants during the respective week by the total number of shares sold (or purchased) on behalf of such participants during the respective week. To defray the cost of the program, a processing fee of $2.25 per share sold or purchased (up to a maximum of $40 per account) will be deducted from your proceeds or refund. The actual price cannot be guaranteed in advance.
