(“Parent”), a Delaware corporation, and Global Generations Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent; (2) to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, specified compensation that may become payable to the named executive officers of the Company in connection with the merger; (3) to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement; and (4) to act upon other business as may properly come before the special meeting (provided the Company does not know, at a reasonable time before the special meeting, that such matters are to be presented at the meeting) or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
