Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

This Form 8-K/A amends our Form 8-K, dated May 24, 2011, to disclose our decision regarding the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. The information in the original Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K/A, except to the extent such information has been modified or amended as described herein.

As previously reported, at the annual meeting of stockholders held on May 19, 2011, an advisory vote was taken with respect to the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (referred to as “Say-on-Pay” votes). At the annual meeting, the Company’s stockholders cast the highest number of votes in favor of holding future Say-on-Pay votes on an annual basis.

On August 18, 2011, after consideration of these voting results and other factors, the Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold future Say-on-Pay votes on an annual basis until the next required stockholder advisory vote with respect to the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
