Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
|
|
At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 29, 2011, the Company’s shareholders conducted a non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. After considering the results of the shareholder advisory vote, the Company’s Board of Directors at a meeting held on July 29, 2011 determined that the Company will hold an annual advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers until the next required vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers or the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company.
