Item 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
As previously reported in the Form 8-K filed on May 3, 2011, in an advisory, non-binding vote
held at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on the frequency of future advisory votes on the
compensation of the Company’s named Executive Officers, 8,734,166 shares were voted for one year,
58,091 shares were voted for two years, 2,441,325 shares were voted for three years, 1,360,935
abstained and there were 2,074,311 broker non-votes. The Company and Board of Directors have
considered the outcome of this advisory, non-binding vote and have determined that the Company will
provide shareholders with an advisory, non-binding vote every year until the next shareholder vote
on the frequency of the advisory, non-binding vote on executive compensation. The shares included
herein are stated as in the Form 8-K filed on May 3, 2011 and have not been adjusted for the
five-for-four stock split which was effective June 10, 2011.
The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to its Form 8-K, which was originally
filed on May 3, 2011, for the sole purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision regarding the
frequency of the advisory, non-binding vote on executive compensation.
