(the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2011 (the “Original Report”).

Item 5.07 Reporting of Voting Results of Security Holders.
|
At the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 4, 2011, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal regarding the frequency of the Company’s stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. As previously reported in the Original Report, the stockholders recommended, by non-binding advisory vote, an annual advisory vote on compensation for the Company’s named executive officers.
In light of these results, the Company’s Board of Directors determined at a meeting held on August 10, 2011, that the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next required stockholder advisory vote on this matter, which, in accordance with applicable law, will occur no later than the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2017, unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
