PROPOSAL 5: RATIFICATION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP
AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
FOR 2015
Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since
2002. The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public
accounting firm for 2015, and this selection is being presented to shareholders for ratification. The
Board recommends to the shareholders the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to
audit the financial statements of our company and our subsidiaries for 2015. Unless otherwise
specified, the proxies solicited hereby will be voted in favor of the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP
as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2015.
If, prior to the Annual Meeting, Deloitte & Touche LLP declines to act or its engagement is
otherwise discontinued by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee will appoint another independent
registered public accounting firm whose engagement for any period subsequent to the Annual Meeting
will be subject to ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. If the shareholders fail to ratify
the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, then the Audit Committee will consider it a direction to
select another independent registered public accounting firm for 2015. Even if the selection is ratified,
the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a new independent registered public accounting firm
at any time during the year if it believes that such a change would be in the best interests of our
company and our shareholders. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at
the Annual Meeting to answer appropriate questions and, if they so desire, to make a statement.
