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

We held an annual meeting of stockholders on May 11, 2021 for purposes of, among other things, requesting that our stockholders indicate, on an advisory basis, the preferred frequency of stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. Our shareholders indicated, on an advisory basis, their preference that the frequency of stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers be every one year.

Our Board of Directors has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined, as was recommended with respect to this proposal by our Board of Directors in the proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting, that the Company will hold future say on pay votes on an annual basis until the occurrence of the next advisory vote on the frequency of say on pay votes.
