COMPANY’S DECISION IN LIGHT OF SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF FUTURE SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY VOTES TO APPROVE COMPENSATION PAID TO EXECUTIVES OF THE COMPANY


Pursuant to Item 5.07 d of Form 8-K, the Company reports that the Board of Directors held a meeting on October 28, 2015, after the annual meeting of shareholders.  The Board decided to adopt the shareholders’ vote (as recommended by the Board) to submit the advisory vote on the compensation of executive officers every year.  Therefore, the next shareholder advisory vote regarding the total compensation paid to executives of the Company will be submitted for vote at the 2016 annual shareholder meeting.  This advisory matter will continue to be submitted for shareholder vote annually until such time as a different frequency is recommended after shareholder advisory vote at a future shareholder annual or special meeting.
