(d)
At the 2012 Annual Meeting, our shareholders cast the greatest number of advisory votes in favor of “three years” as the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.  In light of this advisory vote, which was consistent with the recommendation of the Board of Directors on the matter, the Company will include an advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy materials every three years until the next required vote on the frequency of such advisory vote.  The next such required vote is at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting.
