Item 5.07        Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 14, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors (as previously reported to the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission) was re-elected in its entirety. In addition, the shareholders approved the 2018 Three-Year Common Stock Purchase Plan.  

The following table sets forth the final number of votes for, against and abstaining on the proposal to approve the 2018 Three-Year Common Stock Purchase Plan.  Broker non-votes are not shown because there is no public trading market for the Company’s Common Stock and no brokers hold shares for any underlying beneficial owners of such shares.
