Explanatory Note
On May 16, 2011, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report the voting results of our Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 10, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Form 8-K/A is to disclose our decision regarding how frequently we will conduct an advisory, non-binding vote on executive compensation.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in an advisory, non-binding vote held at our Annual Meeting on the frequency for which shareholders will have an advisory, non-binding vote on our executive compensation, 12,361,082 shares voted for one year, 12,343 shares voted for two years, 2,030,720 shares voted for three years, 6,022 abstained and there were 594,209 broker non-votes. We have considered the outcome of this advisory, non-binding vote, and our Board of Directors has determined we 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.
