(the “Company”) fixed May 1, 2014 as the date of the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2014 Annual Meeting”). Because the 2014 Annual Meeting will be held more than 30 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the due dates for the submission of any qualified stockholder proposal or qualified stockholder nominations under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Company’s bylaws listed in the Company’s 2013 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A as filed with the SEC on May 24, 2013 are no longer applicable. Any such stockholder proposals or nominations, including any notice on Schedule 14N, intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for its 2014 Annual Meeting must be received by the Company at its principal offices, located at 300 Connell Drive, 5th Floor, Berkeley Heights, N.J. 07922, by no later than February 28, 2014 and directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary. Other requirements for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials are set forth in the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and the Company’s bylaws. The Company currently intends to make its proxy materials for its 2014 Annual Meeting available beginning on or about March 21, 2014.
