Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters
to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of the Company held on July 19, 2011, the Company’s
shareholders (by a plurality of votes cast) recommended, on an advisory basis,
that the Company’s future advisory votes on executive compensation be
held every year. Based on the shareholders’ recommendation and other
factors, on December 6, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company
determined that it will include advisory votes on executive compensation in its
proxy materials every year until the next advisory vote on the frequency of
shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation, which will occur no later
than the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2017.
