The special meeting will still be held at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), 200 South Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 2500, Miami, Florida 33131-5341.
In addition, Cambridge has elected to extend the period of time for stockholders of record at the close of business on March 4, 2015 (the record date) to exercise their conversion rights until one hour prior to the special meeting of stockholders. Stockholders who intend to exercise their conversion rights must affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal, demand that Cambridge convert their shares into cash no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposal, and tender their stock to Cambridge's transfer agent at least one hour prior to the vote at the meeting (by 3 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, April 27, 2015). Stockholders may tender their stock by either delivering their stock certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering their shares electronically using Depository Trust Company's DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) system.
Stockholders of record at the close of business on March 4, 2015 are entitled to receive notice of the Special Meeting and to vote the shares of common stock of Cambridge owned by them at the Special Meeting. If you have already returned a validly executed proxy card, your shares will remain voted unless you revoke your prior proxy before the special meeting. You may change your vote by submitting a subsequent proxy. If your shares are held in "street name" you may revoke any prior vote and revote by following the telephone and/or Internet voting procedures provided to you by your bank or broker until 11:59 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time on April 26, 2015.
Stockholders who hold their shares in "street name," which means the shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, should contact their broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares beneficially owned by such stockholders are properly counted. In this regard, holders must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote the shares or, if such a stockholder wishes to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from the broker, bank or nominee.
Additionally, Cambridge advises holders of its securities to move these securities into accounts that do not permit the lending of securities, so called cash accounts or segregated accounts, and out of accounts that permit the lending of securities, such as margin accounts. These steps are designed to ensure that votes related to common stock beneficially owned by stockholders are properly counted. Beneficial owners of common stock that have been lent out (either with or without the beneficial owners' knowledge) are not permitted to vote those shares.
