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

 

On June 15, 2018, the Company held its 2018 annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of stockholders (the “Stockholders”) at the Holiday Inn at 6055 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, TX 75240. The matters submitted to the Stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting were set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule DEF 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement”) and distributed to the Stockholders. Stockholders representing 25,461,856 or 94.57%, of the shares of the Common Stock, outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date, April 27, 2018, were represented at the meeting either in person or by proxy.

 

The matters proposed to the Stockholders for a vote were: (i) the election of each of John R. Loftus, Joel S. Friedman, Jim R. Ruth, Alexandra C. Griffin and Allison M. DeStefano as members of the Company’s Board of Directors; (ii) the ratification of the Company’s appointment of Whitley Penn LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018; and (iii) to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of proposals one through two.

 

The final voting results of the Annual Meeting are set forth below.
