The Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on January 23, 2014. At that Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on the following four proposals: (i) the election of seven directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are elected; (ii) to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers; (iii) to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers and; (iv) the ratification of the appointment of Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2014. Only shareholders of record as of November 29, 2013 (the “Record Date”) were entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

 

The results of the voting on each of the four proposals at the Annual Meeting are set forth below.

 

Proposal 1.     Election of Directors.
