Explanatory Note

(the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2017 (the “Initial Form 8-K”). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct nonbinding stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers.
Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on May 8, 2017, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, a nonbinding advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. As reported in the Initial Form 8-K, the Company’s stockholders voted in favor of holding an annual nonbinding stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it will hold a nonbinding stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers annually until the Company holds its next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of such advisory votes or until the Company’s Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such nonbinding advisory votes is in the best interests of the Company.
