Shareholders can participate in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan and may elect to have cash
dividends automatically reinvested in additional common shares, may purchase additional
common shares by making optional cash payments, or may do both.
Below are several commonly asked questions and answers relating to the Dividend
Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan:
Who is eligible?
Any holder of record of 25 shares or more.

benefit me?

(minimum $100 – maximum $5,000 per quarter) for the purchase of additional shares.

How will I know the
number of shares I hold?
Following each purchase of additional shares, a statement of your account will be mailed
to you at your address of record or you can view your share holdings at any time by
signing into your shareholder account at
Computershare Shareholder Services

What if I join, but
later decide I prefer receiving my dividends by check or direct deposit?
Participation in the plan is voluntary and may be terminated at any time. There could
be, however, certain time restraints regarding the processing of a termination request
should it fall on or near a dividend record date.
