Annual Shareholder Vote on Executive Compensation

The shareholder vote on the frequency of the vote on executive compensation is an advisory vote only. Although the vote is non-binding, the Board of Directors values the opinions of our shareholders. In light of the voting results on this proposal as set forth in item 6 above, the Board has determined that the Company will hold an annual vote on the compensation of executives named in its proxy materials until the next shareholder vote on the frequency of votes on executive compensation.
