All Nominees for election to the Company’s Board were elected to the Board and will serve until the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of shareholders or until successors are duly elected and qualified.

In relation to the proposal on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of named executive officers, the frequency of every 3 years received the most votes, and therefore is the advisory recommendation of the shareholders of the Company.

In consideration of the advisory vote of the shareholders of the Company that an advisory vote on executive compensation should take place every three years and in consideration of the previous recommendation of the Company’s Board and Compensation Committee that the advisory vote on executive compensation should take place every three years, on February 15, 2013, the Company’s Board determined that the advisory vote on executive compensation will take place every three years.
