At the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 10, 2011, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal regarding the frequency of holding advisory votes on executive compensation. As previously reported in the original Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 12, 2011, the stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, an annual advisory vote on executive compensation.
On August 22, 2011, after considering the results of the stockholder advisory vote and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.
