(the “Merger Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that will or may be paid by the Company to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Named Executive Officer Merger-Related Compensation Proposal”), and (iii) a proposal to approve an adjournment of the Special Meeting, from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional votes for the approval of the Merger Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
