Item 5.07  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

(d)   As previously reported, stockholders representing a majority of votes cast at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders voted in favor of holding an advisory vote to approve compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every three years.  The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors carefully considered the voting results on that proposal and decided that the Company will include a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers in its future proxy materials on a triennial basis until the next required vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which pursuant SEC regulations will occur no later than the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2017.
