Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
The 2011 Annual Meeting was held on December 15, 2011.  The following seven matters were put forth to the stockholders to be voted on: (1) the election of seven (7) directors to serve until the 2012 annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; (2) an amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000; (3) an amendment of the 2004 Plan to increase the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2004 Plan by an additional 2,000,000 shares; (4) an amendment of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan by an additional 500,000 shares; (5) a proposal to consider and approve an advisory resolution regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; (6) a proposal to consider and act upon an advisory vote on the frequency at which the Company should include an advisory vote regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers in its proxy statements; and (7) the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
 
The total number of shares of Common Stock voted in person or by proxy at the 2011 Annual Meeting was 58,731,514, representing 86% of the 68,573,565 shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2011 Annual Meeting.  Each of the matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting was approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders.  Based on the results and consistent with a majority of votes cast with respect to the advisory vote on the frequency at which the Company should include an advisory vote regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers in its proxy statements, the Board has adopted a policy to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year. Set forth below is the number of votes cast for, against or withheld, as well as the number of abstentions and broker non-votes as to each such matter, including a separate tabulation with respect to each nominee for director, as applicable.
