Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A, or this Amendment, updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2011, or the Original Form 8-K, relating to our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 25, 2011, or the Annual Meeting. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose our decision regarding how frequently we will conduct future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers, which we refer to as say on pay votes. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously disclosed in the Original Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, our stockholders voted upon the recommendation, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the frequency of holding a say on pay vote (every one, two or three years). The majority of the votes cast were in favor of holding a say on pay vote every year. Based on these results, our Board of Directors has determined that we will hold a say on pay vote every year until the next advisory vote on the frequency of holding a say on pay vote occurs.
