Who Is Eligible to Participate in the Plan?

In general, all direct holders of record of Common Stock are eligible to participate in the Plan. If a person is the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock registered in a name of another (for example, in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee) the beneficial owner may also be eligible to enroll in the Plan. If you are a shareholder who is a beneficial owner, you must work directly with your financial institution in order to make the necessary arrangements on your behalf.

What are an Eligible Shareholder’s Participation Options?

Partial Reinvestment: Participants may elect a specified portion of dividends to partially reinvest by percentage or share designation. A Participant who selects partial reinvestment directs the Administrator to invest the cash dividends on a designated number of the shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Participant. Participants may also purchase additional shares by making optional cash payments.

Optional Cash Purchases: Permits the Participant to make optional cash payments of $50 or more, up to a total of $2,500 during any calendar quarter, for the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Plan, without reinvesting dividends on the shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Participant.

Participants are furnished periodic statements which show the detail of each transaction and indicate the share balance of the Plan account, providing a simplified method of recordkeeping. These statements will include, but not be limited to, such Participant’s receipt of optional cash investments and purchases, dividend reinvestment purchases, sales requests, and transfers of stock.

How Does an Eligible Shareholder Enroll?

An eligible shareholder may enroll or obtain an enrollment form from the Administrator upon request or online through the Administrator’s website at www.shareholder.broadridge.com/MYE. If a shareholder’s enrollment is accepted less than five business days before a Dividend Record Date, the reinvestment of dividends through the Plan on that shareholder’s behalf will commence with the next succeeding dividend payment.

How Many Shares will be Purchased?

The number of shares (including any fraction of a share rounded to three decimal places) of Common Stock credited to your account with respect to any Investment Date or Dividend Payment Date will be determined by dividing the total amount invested on your behalf by the relevant purchase price per share.

Can a Participant Sell his or her Shares?

A Participant may at any time request the sale of all or part of the whole shares of Common Stock in his or her Broadridge account upon written instructions to the Administrator signed by the Participant, by accessing his or her account online at www.shareholder.broadridge.com/MYE, or by telephone at 877-456-5753 (International calls: 720-414-6895).


Sale Fees and Additional Fees:

In connection with each market order and batch order sale, the Administrator will charge a flat administrative fee of $15.00 per transaction request and will forward a brokerage commission fee of $0.10 per share sold to the registered broker-dealer utilized by the Plan. The Administrator will retain no portion of any brokerage commission fee. To effectuate sales, the executing broker-dealer will deduct these fees from the sale proceeds, and then cause the remaining sale proceeds to be delivered to the Participant at his or her mailing address or bank account information on file with the Administrator.

The Administrator will accept notice only from a Participant or from a person duly authorized in writing to act on the Participant’s behalf.
