As previously announced, the Company has authorized a DRIP to provide shareholders with a convenient and economical method of investing cash dividends in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The DRIP is administered by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (~~the “Plan Administrator”~~d). Exhibits

All registered holders of the Company’s common stock are eligible to participate in the DRIP, and participation is entirely voluntary. Shareholders may enroll in the DRIP at any time by completing an enrollment form online or by contacting the Plan Administrator at 800-278-4353 or equiniti.com/us/ast-access/individuals. Shareholders who do not enroll will continue to receive cash dividends, if and when declared by the Company. Under the DRIP, cash dividends declared on all shares of common stock beneficially owned by a participating shareholder will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock. Participants are required to enroll all shares they own, as partial participation is not permitted under the DRIP.

Unless otherwise directed by the Company, shares will be purchased directly from the Company. If shares are purchased from the Company, the purchase price will be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the dividend payment date.
