complete, sign, date and return a proxy card (or cast their vote by
telephone or internet as provided on each proxy card) as soon as
possible and, if by mail, phone or internet, no later than 5:00

to ensure that their shares are voted at the Special Meeting.
If any Andretti shareholder does not receive the Proxy
Statement, such shareholder should (i) confirm their Proxy
Statement’s status with their broker or (ii) contact MacKenzie
