As disclosed in our proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, a properly executed proxy marked “abstain” with respect to Item 2 or Item 3 will not be voted with respect to those items, and abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast, so they had no effect on the outcome of those items.
No other matters were submitted to a vote of our shareholders at the Annual Meeting.
