EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This filing amends our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2011, by disclosing our decision regarding the frequency of non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation.

 

ITEM 5.07                    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

 

(d)                 At the special meeting of shareholders held on May 10, 2011, our shareholders recommended, in a non-binding advisory vote, that we hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation every three years.  In light of this result, our Board of Directors has determined that we will hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation every three years, until the next required shareholder non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder voting on executive compensation, which, in accordance with applicable law, will occur no later than our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2017, unless our Board otherwise determines that a different frequency of non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation is in the best interests of our shareholders.
