Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Our Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on April 15, 2014. Proxies for the meeting were solicited by us pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Act of 1934. There was no solicitation of proxies in opposition to management’s nominees as listed in the proxy statement.

All of management’s nominees were elected to the Board of Directors.

The advisory vote on executive compensation was approved.

    supermajority voting requirements for certain business combinations,

 

    supermajority voting requirements to remove a director without cause, and

 

    supermajority voting requirement to make certain amendments to our By-Laws

failed to receive the required affirmative vote of 80% of the number of shares outstanding and eligible to vote and were not approved.

The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Independent Auditor was ratified.
