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

(a)The Company held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 22, 2017.

(b)The number of votes represented at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy, was 42,090,569. In determining this number, abstentions and shares held by brokers who have notified us that they lack voting authority with respect to any matter (referred to herein as “broker non-votes”) were deemed present for quorum purposes. The matters voted upon at the annual meeting and the results of the vote on each such matter are set forth below:

1.  Election of Directors.  

* Abstentions and broker non-votes were not considered votes “cast” with respect to the election of directors.

2.  Advisory resolution to approve compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

* Abstentions and broker non-votes were not considered votes “cast” on this proposal.

3.  Advisory resolution regarding the frequency of future advisory shareholder votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

* Abstentions and broker non-votes were not considered votes “cast” on this proposal.

In light of the shareholder preference reflected in the above voting results, the Company has determined that future advisory shareholder votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers will be held every year until the next vote on the frequency of such advisory shareholder votes.

4.  Proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2017.  

* Abstentions and broker non-votes were not considered votes “cast” on this proposal.
