For shareholder proposals to be presented at annual shareholders' meetings other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (i.e., which are not to be included in the registrant's proxy statement), management may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies solicited by it for the meetings if it receives notice of such proposals less than 45 days prior to the calendar date proxy materials were mailed for the prior year's annual meeting.
