The Company has reserved for issuance 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares” or the “Common Stock”) under its Dividend Reinvestment Plan in order to provide holders of its Common Stock the opportunity to have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in, and to make voluntary cash payments for, additional Shares. The Plan offers a convenient way for shareholders to use their dividends to automatically purchase Shares at a modest discount while avoiding the payment of brokerage or commissions and bank fees. Any owner of record of at least one share of Common Stock is eligible to participate in the Plan.

To participate in the Plan or for more information, please call the Plan administrator, EQ Shareowner Services at 1.800.468.9716. The Company reserves the right to change the terms of its Dividend Reinvestment Plan. All matters regarding the DRIP are subject to terms of the Plan.
