Based on the above voting results, the director nominees named above were elected and Items 2 and 4 were approved. With respect to the voting results for Item 3, the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers that received the greatest number of shareholder votes was “3 YEARS”. In light of this result, which is consistent with the Board of Directors’ recommendation, the Company has determined to hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every 3 years until such time as the next advisory (non-binding) vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers is submitted to the Company’s shareholders.
