Item 5.07.
|
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
|
On April 28, 2011, the Company filed an 8-K reporting the voting results of the April 27, 2011, Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Such results reflected, among other things, that, consistent with the Company’s Board of Directors’ recommendation, a majority of shareholders recommended, by non-binding vote, that the shareholders vote to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers on an annual basis. In accordance with such voting results for this item, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers of the Company will be conducted every year until the next shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers of the Company.
